I'm have a macbook pro and I'm new to the network stuff. I have two other friends w/ macs (mb and mbp) and we're trying to figure out how to connect our computers so that we can send each other data. I figured out that if you connect to a server you can connected to any person's computer as long as your online. So I had a few questions about that:
1) Is this the best way to do this? Connecting to their server then using their name and password to get on? Or is there another way to do this?
2) Can you tell when other people are connected to you? How can you stop over people from connecting to your server? Do you simply uncheck the personal file sharing option in preferences? Or is it the FTP Access?
