Windows 10: connect Mac OS-X to Windows 10 via ethernet cable - file transfer

Unable to establish Network. Can't transfer files. Smb transfer is not working. FTP did work...sort of.


Need to be able to place files in shared folder for use. No good.


Network connections shows "Ethernet 5" unidentified network. MAC sees PC sort of bu cant send files to shared folder.


Pleasse advise, need info to solve this. thanks!

Cable to transfer files

OMG. I have never met anyone who actually bought one of those file transfer things.



Firewire will do the same as USB, but faster, so will a cheap crossover cable. I can wlak you through the steps of moving data so you will not miss a beat.




Anything more than $10 to buy a cable is too much.
