110 Chapter 8 Customizing Services
If you give a group read and write access, all users who are members have read and
write access even if their individual checkboxes are deselected.
5 To allow guest users to read the contents of a shared folder, click Edit Permissions and
select “Allow Guests read-only access.” Deselect this option to disallow guest access.
If you enable access to a shared folder, users can access it with the most common file
sharing protocols, AFP and SMB.
You can also change access permissions for a shared folder or any item in it by using
the Info window in the Finder. For information about setting permissions for folders
and files, switch to the Finder and then use the Help menu.
Finding a Server’s File Sharing Address
Users and optionally guests can connect to the server’s shared folders using the AFP or
SMB protocols at these addresses:
 smb://serverDNSname
 afp://serverDNSname
Replace the italicized placeholder with your server’s DNS name, which is shown in the
Information pane of Server Preferences.
To access shared folders that don’t have guest access enabled, users must log in using
the name and password of their user account on the server. After logging in, users
have access to the shared folder of each group they belong to. If guest access is
enabled for a shared folder, users can connect without logging in. For information, see
“Controlling Access to a Shared Folder” on page 109.
