Accessing your Mac from your PC

Click "Start > Run" and enter "\\192.168.1.2\mymac", replacing the IP
address with the IP address of your Mac, and "edesignuk" with the short user
name of your account in OS X. When asked to authenticate enter your Mac
accounts short user name and password. All being well you should now be able
to see you entire home folder on your OS X system. You can also map this
share like you would any other Windows network share so that it is
accessible from a drive letter.

Accessing your PC from your Mac

To mount a Windows share on your Mac, click on your desktop so that Finder
is the active application, from the Finder menu go to "Go > Connect to
Server". In the "Server Address" field enter
"smb://192.168.1.3/vista-dell8300", replacing the IP address with the IP
address of your PC, and "mac" with the name of the Windows share you created
earlier.

When asked to authenticate enter the name of your PC in "Workgroup/Domain"
(Unless your PC is part of a domain and your PC account is held on a domain
controller, in which case enter the domain that you normally log on to
Windows with). For "Username" and "Password" enter the username and password
which you use to log on to your Windows machine with. Click ok and your
shared folder should be mounted as a network drive on your desktop.

Home Welcome to the home page of the pfSense project! pfSense is a free, open source customized distribution of FreeBSD tailored for use as a firewall and router. In addition to being a powerful, flexible firewalling and routing platform, it includes a long list of related features and a package system allowing further expandability without adding bloat and potential security vulnerabilities to the base distribution. pfSense is a popular project with more than 1 million downloads since its inception, and proven in countless installations ranging from small home networks protecting a PC and an Xbox to large corporations, universities and other organizations protecting thousands of network devices.  This project started in 2004 as a fork of the m0n0wall project, but focused towards full PC installations rather than the embedded hardware focus of m0n0wall. pfSense also offers an embedded image for Compact Flash based installations, however it is not our primary focus. New to the project? For those new to the project, we recommend reading the Common Deployments and Features page, and checking out the Screenshot Gallery.

rsync info

Here is a summary of the few usable options:

Use the options like these examples:
rsync -rv
rsync -arv
rsync -arvz

r = recursive - means it copies directories and sub directories
v = verbose - means that it prints on the screen what is being copied
a = archive - means that symbolic links, devices, attributes, permissions, ownerships, etc. are preserved in the transfer
z = compress - compress file data

More Examples:

# rsync -r /CustomersArt/ /Volumes/Backup/CustomersArt/
The above example will copy the content of CustomersArt to /Volumes/Backup/CustomersArt/

# rsync -r /CustomersArt /Volumes/Backup/CustomersArt
The above example will copy the folder CustomersArt and its content to /Volumes/Backup/CustomersArt (it will create the folder: CustomersArt).

When using "/" at the end of source, rsync will copy the content of the last folder.
When not using "/" at the end of source, rsync will copy the last folder and the content of the folder.

When using "/" at the end of destination, rsync will paste the data inside the last folder.
When not using "/" at the end of destination, rsync will create a folder with the last destination folder name and paste the data inside that folder.
