To access a share using a network-attached macOS device:
1. Ensure that the AFP or SMB file-sharing protocol is enabled on your ReadyNAS
system.
Note: SMB is recommended for mixed-platform environments.
For more information, see Set Network Access Rights to Shared Folders on page
71.
2. In Finder, select Go > Connect to Server.
The Connect to Server dialog box displays.
3. Connect to your ReadyNAS system as follows:
•
If you are using the AFP file-sharing protocol, enter the following command in
the Server Address field:
afp://<hostname>
•
If you are using the SMB file-sharing protocol, enter the following command in
the Server Address field:
smb://<hostname>
In both cases, <hostname> is the name that you assigned to your ReadyNAS
system or the default host name if you did not change it.
Note: If you cannot access the ReadyNAS using its host name, try entering
afp://<ReadyNAS IP address> or smb://<ReadyNAS IP address> instead. <ReadyNAS
IP address> is the IP address of the ReadyNAS.
4. Click the Connect button.
You are prompted to log in to your ReadyNAS system.
5. Enter a user ID and password.
You can log in with administrator or user credentials. If you log in as a user, your
access is limited by the settings configured by the ReadyNAS system administrator.
You are prompted to select a volume. macOS calls your ReadyNAS shares volumes.
6. Select the volume or volumes (share or folders) you want to access and click the OK
button.
Finder displays the volume contents.
Use a Linux or Unix Device
You can access shares on your ReadyNAS system using a network-attached Linux or
Unix device.
