Best way to transfer files to and from Raspberry Pi using Mac

I've been messing about with scp and ftp and now have stumped across a really happy solution for my Mac.

As I use Pycharm to develop my python files it is handy to have a method that uses finder to manage the files. Hard-core folks might be happiest with emacs and scp etc.

So, on the Raspberry Pi. run:

apt-get install netatalk

Then on the Mac in a terminal:

open afp://192.168.1.100 

replace the above ip address with that of your Raspberry Pi.

This will install Apple talk protocol onto the Pi which means that the Pi can appear in the Finder.
