To Connect to the Snap Server Using Windows Networking (SMB)
MacOS X clients who belong to a Windows domain can connect using SMB as well
as Apple File Protocol (AFP).
1 Choose Go from the menu bar. In the Connect to Server dialog box, enter one of
the following:
smb://servername
smb://ipaddress
Click Connect.
2 Select a share (called a volume on the Mac) to mount on your desktop.
a If “guest” is enabled for SMB or if your default log on is a valid SMB user, you
will be presented with a share selection dialog box. Choose the share to
connect to or click
Authenticate to log in as a different user. A network icon
should appear on your desktop for the share.
b If a user login prompt displays, enter a username and password. Once
authenticated, the share selection dialog box will be displayed. Choose the
share to connect to. A network icon should appear on your desktop for the
share.
Note If you configured your Mac not to show drives on the desktop, you can find
the Snap Server by selecting
File > New Finder Window in the menu bar.
3 To access files on the server, double-click the icon for the share. A Finder window
will display the contents of the share, and your Snap Server will now behave like
any other disk on your Mac.
To disconnect from the Snap Server, drag its icon into the trash.
Connecting from the Web
By default, you can view folders and files on the Snap Server from the Web. To
connect from a Web browser:
1 Type the server’s name or IP address in your browser’s Location or Address box.
2 Press Enter. This will connect you to the server’s Home page.
To browse the contents of the server, click the SHARE1 link. Additional links
appear if you add network shares. If you restrict access to a network share, you
must log in with the right privileges to browse the contents of the share.
