16 6. Give authorized users your computer’s IP or Bonjour address and the user name and password they should use to share files with your computer. Your computer’s Bonjour address is visible in the Sharing pane. Now that you’ve granted users access and configured your folder permissions, you set the protocol your computer uses to share files. You can share files using Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) or Server Message Block (SMB) protocol. OS X uses AFP to share files with other Mac computers and SMB to share files with Windows users. In the following section you’ll learn how to enable SMB sharing on your Mac, then you’ll learn how to enable AFP sharing. Enable Personal File sharing for Windows users: 1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Sharing. 2. Click File Sharing to select it, and then click Options. 3. Select “Share files and folders using SMB” or “Share files and folders using AFP.” You can select more than one. If you’re sharing files with Windows users, make sure to select the SMB option, select the On checkbox next to the name of each account that will share files from a Windows computer, and enter the password for that account. To help keep your computer secure, you may want to create a special account for Windows users in Users & Groups preferences. Note: Because the passwords for some Windows users may be stored less securely, it’s a good idea to disable Windows users’ accounts when they’re not in use. Deselect the On checkbox next to an account to disable the account. Be sure to disable the account before you turn off file sharing on your computer. Otherwise, the password is still active and stored in a less secure manner. 4. Click Done. You’ve enabled Personal File sharing on your Mac. Authorized network users can now access the files and volumes you chose to share. Summary In this chapter you’ve learned the steps for sharing files to and from a Mac with network file servers. Based on what you’ve learned, you should be able to perform these tasks: • Access shared files on a network using a Mac via browsing and direct connection. • Set up folder and user permissions for Personal File sharing. • Enable Personal File sharing over SMB and AFP on a Mac. • Provide network users with a user name and password allowing them to access files that are on your Mac.
Email, Calendars, and Contacts OS X Lion has out-of-the-box support for email, contacts, and calendar using standards-based servers including Microsoft Exchange Server, POP, SMTP and more. OS X Lion lets you easily connect directly to shared services such as email, calendars, and Global Address Lists. You’ll use Mail, iCal, and Address Book and take advantage of powerful Mac features including Spotlight, Quick Look, data detectors, and more. In this chapter, you’ll learn how to configure the OS X Mail application to send and receive email via common server types. Then you’ll learn how to configure Address Book to access shared contacts. Finally, you’ll learn how to configure iCal to access shared calendar services. Email In this chapter you’ll learn how to set up OS X Mail to connect directly to an Exchange server, then you’ll learn how to connect to common non-Windows mail servers. Connecting to an Exchange Server To connect a Mac to an Exchange server, you’ll need the following pieces of information from the server administrator: 4 • The fully qualified domain name for the organization’s Client Access Server (CAS), typically expressed in the format: exchange01.example.com. • The Exchange user name, which is generated by the administrator for each individual user. • The Exchange password, which is also generated for each user. Once you have the required information, you can either manually configure your Mac to use Exchange, or configure the Mac using the Exchange Autodiscover service, if it’s enabled. 17
