Is this possible? Basically I'm thinking if I set up two iMacs side by side and connect them with a firewire cable you'll be able to swap data between them. Is this the case? Or am I wrong?

Thanks for any help. :)
 
It will work, but you have to turn on file sharing on at least one of the Macs. It'll show up as a networked Mac on the other.
 
An alternative would be to boot up one of the iMacs as a target drive by holding down the "T" as you power it up. This will be faster way to transfer files.
