Network Devices
There are four types of network devices you can add. The Network Device Type pane
includes a Network Protocol pop-up menu for choosing the type of network drive to use.
Important: All AFP, SMB, and FTP network devices created with Device Setup Assistant
require you to use a password. You can create these devices without passwords using
the Administration window of the Final Cut Server client.
AFP and SMB Networks
The following pane appears with Apple Filing Protocol (AFP), Server Message Block
(SMB), and Common Interface File System (CIFS) network-connected shares.
AFP and SMB/CIFS devices have the following settings:
 Device Name: Enter a name for the device.
 Network Protocol: Choose the type of network connection required for this device. In
this case, choose either AFP or SMB/CIFS to match your network connection.
 File Server: Enter the hostname of the server.
 Path: Enter the path of the server to use as the root path.
 User Name: Enter your user name in this field to log in automatically to the server on
every attempted server access, such as searching and copying.
 Password: Enter the password that goes with the above User Name entry. Leave this
field blank if the User Name field is blank.
Choose AFP or SMB/CIFS.
