WHat is the easiest way to transfer data from A PC to MAC ?

I connected my imac and my Dell together using an ethernet cable. I was able to transfer music, pictures, etc. (after changing some file sharing settings on XP). I think there is an apple support document about this.

 

yeah, what i've done in the past is network the two of them together and setup file sharing between the two. it's relatively simple and you can find tutorials online. i'm at work right now so i don't have my bookmarks with me but with a little help from google, you can find it real easily.

nope, just the cable

 

check out www.foldershare.com

they have a Mac and PC client and its free!

you create folders on both machines - install the client and (thru the web interface) - tell it to replicate the folders

nothing could be easier to share files (although USB drives and thumbdrives work well too) and replicate/update your data

I use a few different machines - (two pc desktops and a new macbook) - and having my data replicated between all three machines (automatically when ever they connect to the internet) - is a great way to work.

Does foldershare allow you to sync your home folder, or make any folder shareable, or must you create a special folder to use with foldershare?
