Hi Ramy, Yes very possible.
As scott has said use cable as much as possible to transfer your data. Wired is far better for speed and stable connectivity when transferring large amounts of data. On your windows machine, Open windows explorer and find the folder/ folders you wish to share or be able to copy your data into from the mac, Right click on the folders one by one and do this if there are multiple or create one folder and copy your other folders into that so you have one share for connecting to, rather than multiple which could get confusing On the folder you wish to share right click and select properties from the tabs, Select advanced sharing, Open this, Tick the box that says share this folder ticked or unticked, Tab once and Give it a name that makes sense. Tab again to the share with how many users I suggest changing the number of users to a low number like 3 or similar as it's only your mac accessing this share, Then tab again to settings permissions, Enter on this, Select everyone which is in this case just you, Tab down to allow full access and select this, Then tab down and hit enter, This will put you back at the advanced sharing option, shift tab or tab until you find the tab name and then right arrow to the security tab, tab down to the option that says Edit, this should be 2 tabs from the name "Security". Then in the list of possible users select or highlight the everyone option and then tab down to Allow full control, I would tick this as you again are the only user accessing this share, Then tab until you find Ok, Click ok and then tab to ok again, if ok isn't there at this point click closed. The properties window will close at this point and your shared folder will be available. On your mac, try accessing the share by doing a command key and K, then type in Smb://Machine Name. Use the windows machine name as that is what you are actually connecting to, this should then open the access on your mac to the share on your windows computer, Using SMB or samba will help with the connection to your windows machine as they use different formats AFP on the mac and most likely ntfs on the windows machine then try copying between the mac and your windows share, Please note that mac computers by default will not normally copy to an NTFS file structure so this could be an issue. Also note that if you wish to secure this share you would be better creating a group in admistrative tools and computer management / users and computers on the windows side and putting the user in to that group who you wish to have access to the share, Then under the share and security tabs as above add that group in as the accounts that you wish to give access to the shared folder. Rather than using everyone. Hope this helps. Simon f Tab again and hit enter when you find it, Tab -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
