Camera data transfer to mac question
Kfirmaymon84:
I want a direct connection.
lezginka_kabardinka:
## 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
Kfirmaymon84:
I will test it,
Thanks.

I have a camera that connects to a Raspberry Pi,
The Pi sends the camera data over wifi.
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.

Why not? Mac-compatible Wi-Fi dongles exist.

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.

That has nothing to do with the problem at hand.

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.

What is the camera Make/Model please?
