Sharing Pi's folders over network

[Nt79]

Hi all,

Does anybody know if it is possible to share folders from my Pi across my home network so I can access them on my Mac with read/write privileges? All the tutorials I have found so far are for Windows and require third party software, does Raspbian have native file sharing capabilities?

Thanks everyone!

Samba will do this for you.

In fact, I'm doing that very thing as I type this.

You don't need anything extra installed on your RPi, as it already has ssh(fs).

Just install fuse on your mac from:

http://osxfuse.github.io

Make a new folder on your mac hd in Finder, & call it whatever you want.

To connect to your pi, open Terminal on your mac & type something like:

sshfs pi@192.168.2.9:/home/pi myNewMacFolder

Your pi will respond with a password request, then return you back to your Terminal prompt.

Go to Finder, open the folder & there's all your RPi home files.

HTH
