Thanks for confirming what I had thought! Drop box is the way to go.

Hi Steven,
Make sure there isn't a firewall on the MBP that blocks fire sharing.

Permissions on both machines made no difference. Seeing your message,
I checked System Preferences Security Firewall. On the MBP I had
this set to Allow only essential services. Changed it to Allow all
that if you tick one of the boxes in the Sharing panel and then check
back at the Firewall panel, then that service has been listed, eg:
File Sharing (AFP)
Printer Sharing
I would have thought that if you had ticked the box and the service was
listed then it would now be considered essential However
.
It used to be that the firewall was on by default (but you could
turn it off
if you so desired) and then you just turned on the features that you
wanted
- eg file sharing, internet sharing etc. This all seemed self
explanatory
(ie easy).
Now we have the choice to:
Allow all incoming connections

Go into your system prefs and select network. Choose the Ethernet from
the pop-up window next to Show. Click on the AppleTalk tab and then
click on the checkbox that says Make AppleTalk Active. You will also

Well, the question only asked about networking two machines,

I would be grateful for any suggestions that anyone might have.
Check that you've got a reasonable amount of free disk space on the
drive that you want to share (and the System volume on that machine).
Sharing a drive creates some quite big files that are used by the
filesharing system.
