Hi all. My two computers are both connected to a LAN, and directly to each other by firewire.

During file transfers between the two computers, the transfer always goes through the LAN by default.

Is there a way to choose the firewire connection without disconnecting the LAN connection of one of the computers?

Thanks. :)
 
Why would this matter? It's not like transfering files is going to bog down your network, unless it's speed you're looking for.

You could use winscp and type in the address of your IP over Firewire and it should use that IP range to transfer the files.

Hey thanks!
That's precisely my concern.. speed. And also, it's always good to know your options.. something new to learn everyday isn't bad at all.

I'll check that out, thanks again.
 
Just throw a gigabit switch in front of the 2 machines it will faster than screwing around trying to configure firewire.
