I have a desktop Mac running Leopard and a laptop running Tiger. I would like to connect them so I can transfer files between the two of them with a minimum of hassle. What ways are there to do this?

System Prefrences.

Sharing

Personal File Sharing: ON

Both computers are connected wirelessly to the same router. I found that once I enabled File Sharing I could access the laptop from the desktop, but not vice versa.

Both computers are connected wirelessly to the same router. I found that once I enabled File Sharing I could access the laptop from the desktop, but not vice versa.

I'm having the same issue; I can get to the shared files on my wife's PowerBook, but she can't get to the shared files on my iMac.
