Using AppleShare over IP
The Qube 3 supports the use of AppleShare over IP, which means you can access
your Qube 3 across an intranet or over the Internet. The Qube 3 shares its volume
through AppleShare over IP by default.
If you want to connect to a remote AppleShare volume over the Internet:
1. From the Apple menu in the top left corner, select Chooser. The Chooser
dialog appears.
2. In the window on the left, select AppleShare.
3. In the left corner, click Server IP Address. The Server IP Address dialog
appears.
4. Enter the fully qualified host name or IP address of the Qube 3 that you want
to access.
5. Click Connect.
Using FTP
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is typically available on platforms that support
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), which are the
underlying protocols used by the Qube 3. FTP is designed for transferring
individual files.
1. In your FTP application, enter the IP address or the host name of the Qube 3.
2. Enter your user name and password.
You are logged into the user home directory. Refer to the documentation for
your FTP program for instructions on transferring files.
✍-
Note: The user home directory is not the same as the Qube 3’s root
directory. Many HTML publishing programs that use FTP require
full path names to transfer files.
For example, the home directory for user Bill Lumbergh is accessed
through the URL
ftp://<hostname.domainname>/home/users/blumbergh/.
The “sales” group home directory is accessed through the URL
ftp://<hostname.domainname>/home/groups/sales/.
