How about setting up a FTP-Server either on the Windows or Mac machine in your local network, i.e FileZilla

File transfer using Skype has always worked for me. Just don't make the mistake of centralizing your PCs under a Microsoft account. They will push you in that direction at every opportunity. Create an email account for each of your PCs and use that email to sign in to each of your PCs. No need for an A to B wire. My 12 PCs are mostly ethernet-connected desktops but some are Wifi-connected. Skype used to be P2P, but after Microsoft took over your files will still have to go through their server farm. They didn't used to. But consider this: Skype to Skype transfer of files, any size, anywhere, is still free. And that's probably why they are trying to extinguish Skype with their Teams product. But for now, Skype is certainly a proven technology and is to be preferred over some obscure A B connector technology. Finally, Microsoft PC file sharing ACL is a nightmare. Always has been. Always will be.

Just use a network cable between them. Works for me just fine, at Gigabit speeds (well, almost, depending on the machine)...

What I usually do is write something in Python for both machines that transfers via a socket. That's how I transfer files between my Windows PC and a Raspberry Pi.

In all the discussion, nobody mentioned that you can do this, found on YouTube, by BarTech TV:
How to share a Mac Drive with a Windows 10 PC
Seems like a good solution if you need to do it repeatedly, and files stay local.

Wire-based transfers between Windows and Mac doesn't seem like a thing happening.
However, I would like to suggest some internet based suggestions as follows:
>>1 Web server (advanced - you will need to configure your firewall for exposing ports)
You can do something like Smb or NFS by using this:
1. Setup a self hosted server and exposing the 80 port to the network.
2. Access the web directory from the other machine
3. Get the files over your wifi
I'd recommend Xampp, works both in Mac and Windows, also comes with a FTP server, that also may be a option.
>>2 Sharefest (also advanced but classy)
Some time ago I used to use sharefest to transfer files via p2p, but seems that the self hosted tool is not up anymore.
If you have basic knowledge of Node, you may want to try set it up in your own machien using their repo.
>>3 Wetransfer (easiest)
Like google drive, but just to send files from one person to another, unidirectional.
>>4 Mega (easiest 2)
Pretty much the same as Google drive and dropbox, but with higher rates, I like it a lot for backup, filesync, and airgap between machines.

I start a new job Next Monday, working as part of a three-man team. I have been working solo since 1985. I was looking for advice / thoughts on what it is like. Particularly, what are the pitfalls, etc.
I have already met the other 2 guys when they interviewed me for the job. They both seem to be really good guys.
I really don't want to screw this up. It is a permanent position, with an excellent salary and benefits.
Any recommendations?

Can you make coffee?
There is no such thing as a permanent position.
|
|
|
|
|
The usual - chill and listen and learn for the first few weeks. Ask questions, like about processes, testing, procedures, etc.

IMHO, lesser the number of people in the team, lesser the chances of office politics. Three should be fine.

Congratulation man!
Take it easy, you can do it, I believe!
