14 4. When you locate the desired shared computer or server, select it and click Connect As. 5. If necessary, enter your user name and password and select volumes or shared folders on the server. Note: To make it easier to connect to the server in the future, select “Remember this password in my keychain” to add your user name and password for the computer to your keychain. This adds your user name and password for the file server to your keychain on your Mac. Next time you want to connect to this file server, your authorization information will be remembered, and you’ll gain access automatically. Connect directly to Windows file servers: 1. In the Finder, choose Go > “Connect to Server.” 2. Type the network address for the computer or server in the Server Address field using one of these formats: smb://DNSname/sharename smb://IPaddress/sharename where DNSname is the domain name of the server, IPaddress is the server’s IP address, and sharename is the name of the shared volume to be mounted. Note: SMB stands for the Server Message Block protocol, used mainly by Windows computers to provide shared network access. SMB is also known as the Common Internet File System or CIFS. If you have connected to the file server recently, you can also choose it from the Recent Servers (the clock) pop-up menu. To add a computer or server to your Favorite Servers list, click the Add (+) button after entering the address. If you have added a server to the Favorite Servers list, you can double-click the server’s address in the list. 3. Click Connect. 4. Choose to Connect as a Registered User and enter the user name and password you were provided by the server administrator. You’ve now used your Mac to access files stored on network file servers. You may also want to set up your Mac to allow other network users to access your files with Personal File sharing. The next section will show you how to enable Personal File sharing on your Mac.
Personal File Sharing To allow other network users to connect to your Mac, you have to turn on file sharing in System Preferences. You may want to create a special file-sharing account on your Mac, to maintain the security of your unshared files. You’ll need to give these pieces of information to the users you want to authorize to access your shared files: • The IP or Bonjour (the OS X auto network discovery feature) address of your Mac • The user account name for the account on your Mac that has file sharing turned on • The user account password for the file-sharing account on your Mac Note: If you want to use a user account that existed before you installed the latest version of OS X, you may need to reset the password for the account in Users & Groups preferences. Before you set up sharing you should choose which folders to share with network users and which permissions they’ll have. By default, the Mac administrator account has full read and write access while all others have only read access. Select which folders to share: 1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Sharing. 2. Select File Sharing in the list. 3. Click Add (+) at the bottom of the Shared Folders list, and then locate the folder, select it, and click Add. By default, the Public folder of each user with an account on your computer is shared. To keep a folder from being shared, select it in the Shared Folders list and click Delete (-). 4. To give only specific users access to a folder, select the folder in the Shared Folders list and click Add (+) at the bottom of the Users list. Select a category of user, and then select the user and click Select. • To select a user from the accounts you’ve set up in Users & Groups preferences, select Users & Groups. • To select a user from users on your network, select Network Users. • To select a user in your personal address book, select Address Book. • To create a new account that will only be used for sharing, click New Person, enter a name and password, and click Create Account. 5. Select the user in the Users list, and then click the triangles next to the user name and choose the level of access the user should have to the selected folder: • No Access: The user can’t see or copy files from the folder. • Read & Write: The user can see and copy files to and from the folder. • Read Only: The user can view the contents of the folder but can’t copy files to it. • Write Only (Drop Box): The user can copy files to the folder but can’t view its contents. 15
