I'm running Sierra 10.12.6 (16G29) on my MacBook pro
I need to backup my files to another computer ASAP. I wanted to do this using an ethernet cable. I've followed many tutorials but I'm having no luck. The devices would show up in the "Shared" section, but it won't let me connect. I've tried connecting to a pc running windows 7 and also a mac desktop running Yosemite and the MacBook can't connect to either of them.
I've tested the mac running yosemite to my windows pc following tutorials and works like it's supposed to. I'm out of ideas on what to do here. I'm starting to think it's just a bug in Sierra and can't do anything about it.
I'm opened to the idea of using a third party app if that's what it takes. I'm having trouble finding one though. Most of them are using a cloud method which is not what I want since I would have to upload. I got about 200gb worth of stuff to transfer.
