Remote File Transfer Mac

BUT - on the iPads, there's no way to save or back up or transfer anything except by handing it over to the Cloud - or, by using an app like.Remote Files. to transfer them to a file-hub device and a regular thumb-drive! Wrapping Up: Transfer Files From Mac to Mac If the two Macs are in the vicinity of each other and the file to be transferred is relatively small, AirDrop is your best bet. However, for larger files, Thunderbolt cables or File Sharing seem to do the job just perfect. My Network Places - Microsoft Terminal Services - tsclient. Double click on tsclient and the shares should appear (you may have to provide login credentials for your Mac) assuming that you have configured some shares on your Mac. Once connected to the share you should be able to move files between the two systems.
