Where do I find my mac that is connected via Firewire in Terminal application?
I have my iMac and MB pro connected by firewire. I can see the connection in the finderwindow, but can't locate the machines in terminal. Can someone help me? I do most of my work in Terminal and would like to move/copy files from one machine to another like that -- I could have sworn I was able to do it before with my MB Pro and my other iMac. Please help! I think I'm maybe not setting something I should be.
Also, it seems that whenever I connect to my firewire machine from the finder window (using 'connect as' and typing in the username and password,) I lose the connection when I switch to another window and I'm back to being connected as a 'guest', What's going on and how do I maintain that connection?

Hi everyone. I'm new to using the Terminal and was just wondering if anyone had a link to perhaps a list of commands. And tips on some useful websites to visit or books to read.
Oh and is there a way to delete just part of the Terminal's history? If so what is the command?
Thanks :) (2 Replies)
