A new window will pop up asking for a username and password. When you're done, it should look something like this: \192.168.1.68. In the address bar at the top of the window, type \ followed by your Mac’s IP address. Follow the instructions below to transfer files from Mac to Windows: Now it’s time to head to your Windows computer. You will see this below the File Sharing: On message. Finally, you need to note your Mac’s IP address. Remember that all network access is controlled by the computer with the shared resources (in this case, it’s your Mac) therefore, you must understand what Mac permissions have been applied to a folder. Once you have shared a folder, review the users' permissions and groups that should have access to the data in the Shared Folders list. Click the Plus (+) and Minus (–) buttons below Shared Folders to adjust your preferences. Next, you need to choose which folders and users you’re going to share with your Windows computer.

You’ll now be back on the Sharing window.

Upon completion, we recommend you deselect the user checkboxes. When you’re sharing files with Windows computers, your Mac stores the users’ passwords less securely.
