Just for the record, currently this works:
- On Mac Pro, in Windows (XP):
- Choose any folder. For example:
- On the RAID, this could be either of the two partitions:
- NTFS_RAID (an NTFS partition)
- RAID_ProAVIO (an HFS+) partition
- On the RAID, this could be either of the two partitions:
- Then [RtClk > Sharing and Security… > Sharing > Network sharing and security:
- Share this folder on the network: YES
- Allow network users to change my files: YES
- Because some tools create “sidecar” files e.g. audio peaks or video indexes.
- Choose any folder. For example:
- On Mac Book, in Windows 7:
- From a file-browser, be it Windows Explorer or part of the File>Open feature of an application, go to [ Network > aComputer > aFolder ]
- Tested by playing file in Windows Media Player and in Sony Vegas (video NLE). Worked fine. Latter added a [.sfk] sidecar-file to the RAID-folder.
- Worked both for source on NTFS partition and for source on HFS+ partition, except the latter gave rise to prolonged “hourglass” delays before the file was accessed/linked, following which the video played smoothly.
- From a file-browser, be it Windows Explorer or part of the File>Open feature of an application, go to [ Network > aComputer > aFolder ]
- What doesn’t work:
- Unable to see Mac Book from Mac Pro.
- Also, when MacPro is in Mac OS, MacBook W7 Windows Explorer > Network lists the MacPro as [MACPRO-2E4124] yet cannot connect to it, blaming a firewall (presumably the one on MacPro).
- Network Error: Windows cannot access \\MACPRO-2E4124
- Tried exiting Kapersky (on the MacPro>MacOS) but no change.
- Tried stopping MacPro firewall (via Preferences > Security) but no change.
