Airdrop between Snow Leopard and Lion

Question

I have a new laptop (running Lion) and want to transfer some of my files from my old laptop (running Snow Leopard). How can I use the airdrop function to copy the files from Snow Leopard to Lion?

Solution

AirDrop only works between computers running Lion. You'll need to use another method to transfer files between Snow Leopard and Lion.

File sharing on your local network is one easy way, copying to a USB key or other external storage device is another.

Do you have any references on how to easily share files over the local network?

Here's a good reference for sharing on OSX 10.5: macs.about.com/od/networking/qt/sharingleopard.htm
