Remote Disc via Thunderbolt connection
I am trying to share a Mac's DVD drive via Remote Disc. This works nicely over the network (wifi) but I'm not currently in a position to connect via Ethernet and having to transfer 9 (!!!) DVDs worth of data between two machines would take a lot of time. It seems to me that the machines only "see" each other when they are both connected to the same network.
Both Macs have Thunderbolt connections and I have a Thunderbolt cable so that I could connect the two machines.
Can I somehow transfer the data via the cable instead of having to go through the otherwise slow wifi connection?
Thank you in advance.
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
