Why not SMB?
smb?
If you don’t know what SMB is, it’s probably a bad idea for you to turn off the Mac firewall. You don’t know enough about this stuff to be monkeying around back there.
You can theoretically set up actual network shares that are readable by both devices which will solve your problem and not require any messing around with the firewall at all.
i’m not an apple customer, mac user. I won’t be. Whenever i try to do something on macOs, i am surprised by how closed everything is.
I don’t want to learn more than what is necessary about macOs.
How do i “set up actual network shares” on macOs?
And what can happen if i turn off macOs firewall and keep Vallum instead?
SMB is not an Apple specific thing, it’s a standard file sharing protocol.
