Sharing Photos over a Network
Share photos with your friends and family simply and safely by using your local network — including a Wi-Fi network set up with an AirPort Extreme Base Station.
To share photos from your iPhoto library over a network:
- Choose iPhoto > Preferences to open the iPhoto Preferences window.
- In the toolbar, click the Sharing button.
- Select the “Share my photos” checkbox. You can share all the photos in your library or just the photos in albums you select.
- Give your photos a title that will appear to other networked users by typing a name in the “Shared name” text field.
- For extra security, you can password-protect your photos by selecting the “Require password” checkbox and entering a password in the text field. This allows other networked users to see that you’re sharing photos. However, it also requires them to enter the password before they can view your photos.
- Close the Preferences window.
