  Sharing a Shared Drive

  Posted by Steve Ngo on January 19, 2012 at 1:21 am

  I have a desktop computer connected to a server with a fiber connection. My laptop doesn’t have a fiber card. Is there anyway for me to share the server drives from my desktop to my laptop computer?

  The simple File sharing Apple provides doesn’t work.

  Any thoughts?

  This is not a recommended workflow…

  In the console type “alldrives”. Your network share should show up.

  I’d suggest sharing the drive on your desktop and using ethernet cables through the router.

  Best,
