Absolutely. We believe that NodeScan provides one of the easiest ways to move files across platforms. Just run a copy of the NodeScan Server application on one of the computers and then upload and download files using the NodeScan Client. Since NodeScan server is a regular application no permanent changes need to be made to the operating system to enable/disable file sharing. Unfortunately NodeScan does not yet support sending groups of files or folders/directories. If you need to send a number of files you should use a compression utility to archive them into a single file. For cross platform sharing “zip” is the most compatible format.
