Apr 6, 2012 11:48 AM in response to bobtollesby BDAqua,I share files with an eMac running 10.4.11 & an iMac running 10.6.x or 10.7.x
Which way are you trying it? What Sharing do you have enabled on both?
Are the IPs of both the same except the last number?
Is there a reason the one is still at 10.4.3?

Apr 12, 2012 9:14 AM in response to BDAquaby bobtolles,I have file sharing enabled on both machines.
On the iMac machine running Tiger no shared device shows up in the finder.
When I open the network window a globe called mac mini does but won't open.
On the mac mini running Lion, a shared device does show up but when I try to open, permission is denied
The IPs of both are the same except the last number.
Found that apple talk was turned off, but turning it on didn't help.
I try boh ways reaching one machine from the other to no avail.
I haven't needed to upgrade the tiger OS untill now. Old iMac will only upgrade as far as snow leopard.
Would appreciate any more suggestions.

Apr 12, 2012 10:40 AM in response to bobtollesby BDAqua,In finder, select Go menu>Connect to Servers..., type in afp://ip.of.another.computer, like...
Does that do anything different?

Connect to server worked from the iMac station using this code, I was able to access the other machine's public
folder. I stil can't reach the iMac from the mac mini though. When I try to go the other way it does recognize the ip
address but there is a persistant rejection of the name and password making little window shakes every time I
push connect.

command + l will make an alias you can then drag.
Is there a reason the one is still at 10.4.3?
What bdaqua means is that you may consider upgrading to 10.4.11. Of course, there was some bug in 10.4.11 that may require you to reconfigure your wireless access. Just a hassles, wireless works fine in 10.4.11.
Pick the appropriate combo update.

I've had good luck with pureFTP for data transfer when the hassles of Mac OS got in the way of data transfer.
You could use FTP.
*Local Lan*
I use pureFTP server. It comes as part of PureFTPd Manager software download at this site.
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12630
PureFTPd Manager is the gui program manager for the pureFTP server.
*Across the internet* You do not need this. I left it in from my standard post.
Try:
PureFTPd Manager. Free. Is the server. It runs on your home computer. I found PureFTP easier to use than the Apple solution in Tiger. The apple solution could have changed.
You would have to contend with these issues:
Enable your Mac firewall to pass ftp traffic.
Do you have a local router? Enable it's firewall. Tell it to pass ftp data to your home mac.
Verify that your isp lets you run an ftp server on your home mac.
Dynamic ip address. See

One your laptop, run one of these ftp clients:
