I want a direct connection. |

## Enable ssh (or SMB) on the raspberry pi (“System Preferences >> Sharing”) ## Connect “Finder” to the pi, by logging into the ssh or SMB connection. I find the “files” app on my iPhone likes SMB on my Mac, way more than it likes sshfs; so I think you’ll find that “Finder” would too. Failing that, go the easy route and enable “Apache2” web server on the pi, delete /var/www/html/index.html and symlink from /<my>/<camera_file_path>/ to /var/www/html/ OR do: --- Code: --- sudo cp /<my>/<camera_file_path>/ /var/www/html/ --- End code --- You may need to change access mode of the files, once copied, thus: --- Code: ---sudo chmod 777 /var/www/html/<filename(s) --- End code --- Then fire up Safari or Whatever in macOS and http://IP.OF.PI |

I will test it, Thanks. |

I connect to a PC a USB wifi dongle for a direct Wi-Fi connection (USB dongle for not occupying the PC's Wi-Fi). My problem is that I can't connect to Mac computers with 3rd party Wi-Fi dongles. --- End quote --- Why not? Mac-compatible Wi-Fi dongles exist. --- Quote from: Kfirmaymon84 on November 29, 2023, 08:06:58 pm ---No, apple's modern computer doesn't let you have 2 Wi-Fi networks. --- End quote --- Not at the same time on the same Wi-Fi interface (like the built-in Wi-Fi). But it should allow multiple Wi-Fi interfaces (e.g. built-in AND a USB dongle) just fine. --- Quote from: lezginka_kabardinka on December 01, 2023, 02:00:18 am ---## Enable ssh (or SMB) on the raspberry pi (“System Preferences >> Sharing”) ## Connect “Finder” to the pi, by logging into the ssh or SMB connection.

I want to develop a system that will receive the Wi-Fi signal and pass it over USB to the Mac. I would love to hear your ideas. I have experience with microcontrollers, FPGA, programming, and board design, and I'm willing to learn any new skills to achieve this goal. --- End quote --- What is the camera Make/Model please? |
