No matter what folders they’re actually in, they appear here in a single window. That is, pictures, movies, music, documents-no system files, preference files, or other detritus.
It’s a massive, searchable, sortable list, all in a single window, of every human-useful file on the computer. What is this, some kind of geeked-out soap opera? There it is, staring you in the face at the top of the Sidebar in every window: an icon called All My Files.
This section lists all your Finder tags (color-coded keywords). (Your main hard drive doesn’t usually appear here, but you can drag it here.) The removable ones (like CDs, DVDs, i-gadgets) bear a little gray logo, which you can click to eject that disk. This section lists every storage device connected to, or installed inside, your Mac: hard drives, iPhones, iPads, iPods, CDs, DVDs, memory cards, USB flash drives, and so on. Back to My Mac ( Variations on Screen Sharing) is also listed here.ĭevices. Here’s a complete list of the other computers on your network whose owners have turned on File Sharing, ready for access (see Chapter 14 for details). Here, too, you’ll find the icons for important Mac features like All My Files (see the box on All My Files) AirDrop, the instant file-sharing feature described on AirDrop and the fantastic iCloud Drive ( Revert). You can drag a document onto a folder icon to file it there, drag a document onto a program’s icon to open it with the “wrong” program, and so on. Sent 176.92M bytes received 14.09K bytes 14.Figure 1-3. Good things to put in the Sidebar: favorite programs, disks on a network you often connect to, a document you’re working on every day, and so on. Total transferred file size: 176.85M bytes The output of the above command will be similar to: ~]$ rsync -a -progress -stats -human-readable /Users/jnet/Pictures/Screen\ Caps /Volumes/ScratchĢ1.51K 100% 0.00kB/s 0:00:00 (xfer#1, to-check=642/644) In this case the space needs an \ to indicate not to end the file name exactly opposite of needing the space earlier.
Dragging a file is preferred in most cases since it will handle a space in any folder or file name. Dragging and dropping a file / folder onto a terminal window will place that file/folder's path into the terminal window. Then drag the file / folder you wish to copy and drop it onto the terminal window, followed by dragging and dropping the destination directory. ( note there needs to be one or more spaces after -human-readable to end that command and break before the source and destination file names are provided) You can also type into the terminal just the command: rsync -a -progress -stats -human-readable rsync -stats -human-readable ~/Desktop/Large-File /Volumes/OtherDisk/Dir If you're comfortable in the Terminal, you can use rsync to copy some files from one place to another and it'll give you summary stats on the speed: rsync -a -progress -stats -human-readable path_to_source path_to_destĮ.g.
