How to File Share Snow Leopard on Mac Computers

Enable the File Sharing features of your Mac computer to share files between two computers. The Mac OS X Snow Leopard operating system makes it easy to establish a connection between computers. You must have the administrator password for both computers in order to edit the file sharing preferences and send files. Once you have enabled file sharing, it will only take a couple taps of the trackpad.
