Re: [PLUG] Peer-to-peer android -> osx

[jeff <jeffv@op.net>]

it's not peer to peer, but you could use a vnc-like solution. One of the 
progs supports file xfer. I tried it on my lan a while back.

Also ssh. I know nothing about macbooks but figure it'll serve up vnc 
and/or ssh. AndFTP is a good android client and you can use SFTP with 
it, assuming ssh on the mac. Normal security advisories apply.
