Turning Sharing Off
Because sharing is not a service, you cannot turn sharing on and off on a Mac OS X Server.
You “turn sharing off ” by no longer sharing an item. You can also remove the share point or
stop the file service that clients are using to access the share point.
To stop sharing an item:
1 In Workgroup Manager, click Sharing.
2 Click the Share Points tab and select the item you want to stop sharing.
3 Click the Advanced tab and choose the protocol used to share the item.
4 Deselect the “Share this item” option.
To completely stop sharing an item, repeat steps 3 and 4 for each protocol you used to share
the item.
5 Click Save.
Removing a Share Point
To “remove a share point” is to stop sharing a volume or folder. You may want to notify
users that you are removing a share point so that they know why the share point is no
longer available.
To remove a share point:
1 In Workgroup Manager, click Sharing.
2 Click the Share Points tab and select the share point you want to remove.
3 In the Sharing pane, deselect the “Share the selection and its contents” option.
Any Advanced and Automount settings that you have configured for the item are discarded.
Browsing Server Disks
You can view the folders (but not files) located on servers using the Sharing module of
Workgroup Manager.
To browse the folders on a share point or server:
1 In Workgroup Manager, click Sharing.
2 Click the Share Points tab to browse the folders of share items, or click the All tab to browse
all the folders on the local server.
Viewing Share Points
Workgroup Manager lets you view all volumes and folders on a server or just the share points.
