Is there an app for mac that determine to demonstrate me large files/folders of my complete hard drive, so I be able to figure out what is taking up HDD. I am working on a video project in which it is essential to send large portions of video back and forth (500mb up to 4gb). So far, most of them have comprised and been utilizing iDisk, and it's painful. It's dreadfully sluggish and times out infrequently. Is there a way to basically connect to every others Mac utilizing Leopard. I am innovative at this, so I am not too sure of what information most of them would need.

You do not necessitate an special convenience or app, just presently go into the finder, hit Command + F, and organize the various alternatives to search your complete system for several file with whatever size. If the mac is close near each additional you be able to hook them together through a firewire cable. That is you, other than merely on the intranet. Not on the public internet. In order to utilize FTP you have comprised to expose the computers to the public internet, e.g. by port forwarding or positioning them in the DMZ of your router. You might in addition give the impression of being at utilizing file sharing types of tools.

At present the file sharing be supposed to be working, and by giving the additional user the URL your mac determine to give you. That user will be capable to attach to your mac utilizing your log-in information in sequence. It be supposed to be moderately straight forward commencing from there you determine to almost certainly have to do a number of port forwarding on your router assuming you utilize a router otherwise transfer speed will be extremely sluggish.

This is accurately the part I not be able to get past. I have file sharing twisted on and it says this: "Other users be able to access shared folders on this system, and administrators the entire volumes. That ISP seems extremely generic. With the intention of not be able to be me, be able to it. I am connected to the Internet via ethernet to the Airport pedestal Station, which connects to the Internet via the cable modem. So I guess I determine to have to do what AppleFan69 called port forwarding.

The FTP would be superior other than it gets even additional complex. The merely predicament is the entire of these necessitate a number of sort of arrangement on your router to appropriately redirect the correct traffic to your system. Depending on your speed and your ISP's policies this might not be practicable in the long run, particularly if the files are approximately 4GB; if you are on a common home correlation (<1.5mbps upstream) this determine to take superior couple of hours. If you do not necessitate to exchange files to facilitate often and are relatively close a sneakernet might be your best option.

I imagine it has something to do through your router not on condition that several firewall/protection to the chosen system, causing to facilitate computer to be totally in the open and susceptible to the internet, other than it in addition saves you commencing from the complications routers be able to cause. Port forwarding, is well fundamentally the SECURE other than complicated method to do things through a router. And perhaps this may sound stupid, maybe not, other than if moreover one of you have one, or perhaps even acquire one if this is utilized a lot, a website, just web hosted by any company immediately upload it to the server and let user password and then be able to acquire it straight from teh server.
