Linux to Mac File Conversions

Mac and Linux users are both adept at sending files to Windows users. There are plenty of tools designed to share their files, even if your recipient isn’t technically proficient. The real challenge, the real test of skill Dell Xps M1530 Battery, is in sending files to each other. That is why today we are going to increase your geek quotient (GQ) a bit by showing you how to share files between a Mac and a Linux.

Office Suite Documents

If what you need to send is a letter, a spreadsheet or a presentation then you are in luck both Pages and Open Office can share with a little bit of work. Both the current version of Pages and Open Office will support the .doc format and while it may not be perfect, the documents will get through.

To save as a .doc in Pages

File → Save As → Hit the "+" to expand the save box → Check the box next to "save as Word Document" → Save

To save as a .doc in Open Office

File → Save As → Open pull down menu labeled "Save As Type" → Choose .doc → Save

Audio Files

If what you want to share is an audio file then your best bet is a cross platform music manager. Before we begin Dell Inspiron 1420 Battery, note that this method requires an iPod.

Step One: Have both parties install and setup Amarok apple laptop batteries, a cross platform manager.

Step Two: Upload the files you want into a playlist an Amarak. Then load that playlist onto your target iPod.

Step Three: Bring the loaded iPod to the target computer and upload the files.

Simple. It is worth noting that Amarak works with many, but not all forms of Linux.

Other File Types

If you want to send a video file, or developer files then the quickest way to do that is with an online file storage service. If you want to do this just follow these steps:

1. Create an account on a file storage site. Just be sure that the one you choose works well with Firefox.

2. Upload the target files.

3. Share the logon URL, username and password with your recipient so that they can download the files.

You just have to be sure that the files will run on a Mac.

Conclusion

Sharing files isn’t as hard as it seems. A little bit of creative thinking is all that you need to get the job done. FTP sharing is also possible, if both users have the same client.
