Connect Mac Studio to MacBook Pro over wifi

on the SOURCE computer (the one holding the files to be shared) you would need to enable File Sharing, and specify what specific user or class of users (e.g,, "Admin") are allowed what access, read only or read and write.

Then when you make the connection, you will be asked to enter credentials. The credentials needed are those that would give you read access on the REMOTE computer (your computer already knows who you are).

Specifically, on the Mac Studio go to System Settings ➜ General ➜ Sharing ➜ File Sharing and make sure its turned on.

You can click on the (i) icon to configure specific users and permissions.

On the MacBook Pro go to System Preferences ➜ Sharing.

Thanks, I got this far already.

Any other suggestions? -G

What happens when you try to access one computer from the other computer?

In Finder if you click on one computer, it should offer the option to connect to it. In most cases it will ask for credentials that have been given access to said computer.

Is that not what happens?

Do you get an error? If so, what does it say?

Have you shared any specific folders?

Are you not getting that option?

good details!

Remember that "sharing" in this context specifies 'make available for others to use'. Once allowed to become available, all you need to do to use is enter appropriate credentials. No additional use of sharing panels is required to share on a day-to-day basis.

You're welcome. Glad it worked out.
