File Sharing Mac OS X 10.4 to Windows 7
Hi
I'm try to share files between my my iMac running OS X 10.4.11 and PC running Windows 7. They are connected via cable to a BT Home Hub 2.0. There's plenty of advice on sharing files from the PC to the Mac but I want to share the Mac files with the PC. Any advice would be really appreciated. 5 Replies
The troubles with getting a Windows box to see a Mac usually falls in the area of which workgroup the Mac is in and the user account. This Apple technote describes the process that would be used.
Apple TechNote If you are planning on connecting to the mac consistently then follow the link above. If you don't want to deal with that and simply want to transfer files now and again then go down the SCP route. Enable SSH access on your mac for your user account. Then from your PC you can SSH/SCP/etc... to the Mac with something like PuTTY.

Windows Vista and 7 only support NTLMv2 auth. You will have to dumb down Windows security policy to accept NTLM and Lan Manager authentication. Open secpol.msc and choose Local Policies>Security Options. Double click Network Security>LAN Manager Authentication level. Change from NTLMv2 to NTLM and LAN Manager - Use NTLMv2 if negotiated. Then in Network Security>Minimum session security for NTLM SSP Based Clients uncheck require 128 bit. Hope this helps. Also make sure the Mac and PC are set to the same workgroup.
