Great article, I tried your method and it worked! I was able to transfer files from my PC to my Mac. Keep up the good work.

@gvmelle – The page you refer to has the exact same instructions for enabling file sharing on Mac OS X! I’m not sure what you saw different?

Overall, method 1 is the easiest, but you need to be a little tech savvy to share files between Windows and Snow Leopard.

One more great utility for synchronizing Mac and PC is SyncMate. (Btw, free version is available:))
SyncMate allows syncing contacts, iCal, different folders with files, Stickies, ToDo’s, bookmarks or notes (entourage and Mail notes) directly between your Mac and PC. No need to store data online and sync it after to your Mac or PC – just connect two computers and start the synchronization!
Btw, SyncMate also syncs your Mac with Nokia, Google account, PSP, USB flash drive, other Macs and online storage!
Details about SyncMate can be found here http://www.sync-mac.com/syncmate-features.html

Use a PC-MAC USB data transfer cable:

No setup, no software to install. Just plug each end into a USB port on each computer and start the file transfer.

This is not a well thought through article. The settings for the Mac OSX are for version 10.2 and NOT for the latest: Leopard, 10.5. Readers can better consult the page Mac OSX: Setting up windows file sharing: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1812?viewlocale=en_US
