File Sharing<br />

Organizations constantly share files and resources across networked computers.<br />

OS X Lion supports a wide variety of the most popular file server protocols. In this<br />

chapter you’ll learn how to connect your <strong>Mac</strong> to file servers. You’ll also learn how to<br />

configure Personal File sharing to let other network users access files on your <strong>Mac</strong>.<br />

Connecting to File Servers<br />

You can connect to <strong>Mac</strong> and Windows computers that have file sharing turned on, and<br />

to file servers that are using the AFP, SMB/CIFS, NFS, WebDAV, and FTP protocols. To<br />

access shared files stored on personal computers and file servers on your network, you<br />

can either browse for the computer by name in a Finder window, or enter its IP<br />

address directly in the “Connect to Server” dialog.<br />

Connect to a computer or server by browsing:<br />

1. In the Finder, choose Go > “Connect to Server.”<br />

2. Click Browse.<br />

You can also click the disclosure triangle next to Shared in a Finder window sidebar.<br />

The computers on your network that have sharing turned on are listed in a Finder<br />

window.<br />

3. Search for the computer or server’s name.<br />

You may also need to know the network area or workgroup the computer is<br />

located in.<br />
