50 Chapter 2 Getting to Know Your MacBook Pro
 If you connect your computer to a network using Ethernet, you can exchange files
with other computers on a network. You can access a server or another computer by
clicking Network in the Finder sidebar, or by choosing Go > Connect to Server from
the menu bar.
 You can create a small Ethernet network by connecting an Ethernet cable from your
MacBook Pro to another computer’s Ethernet port. After you’re connected, you can
transfer files directly from one computer to the other. For more information, open
Mac Help and search for “connecting two computers.”
 You can connect to an AirPort Extreme wireless network to transfer files. For more
information, see “How AirPort Provides Wireless Internet Access” on page 60.
 If you have access to devices that communicate using Bluetooth wireless technology,
you can transfer files to other Bluetooth equipped devices. For more information,
see “Using Bluetooth Wireless Technology” on page 61.
For general information about transferring files and documents, open Mac Help and
search for “transferring” or for the type of connection you need.
