Allowing Guest Access to a Share Point
You can use Workgroup Manager to allow guest users (users not defined in the
directories used by your server) to connect to specific share points.
To change guest access privileges for a share point:
1 Open Workgroup Manager and click Sharing.
2 Click Share Points and select the share point.
3 Click Protocols and use the pop-up menu to choose the protocol you’re using to
provide access to the share point.
4 Select the “Allow guest access” option.
5 Click Save.
Note: Make sure that guest access is also enabled at the service level in Server Admin.
From the Command Line
You can also enable guest access to a share point using the sharing command in
Terminal. For more information, see the file services chapter of the command-line
administration guide.
Setting Up a Drop Box
A drop box is a shared folder with ACL permissions set so that certain users can only
copy files into the folder, but can’t see its contents. If you use only POSIX permissions,
you can set them to allow anyone the ability to copy files into the drop box, but give
only the owner of the drop box full access.
