2 In Workgroup Manager, click Sharing.
3 Select Share Points and select the folder you want to use as a drop box.
4 Select the Sharing tab.
5 Set “Write Only” privileges for the users you want to have access to the drop box.
To create a drop box for a select group of users, enter the group name (or drag the group
from the U&G Drawer) and choose “Write Only” privileges from the Group pop-up menu.
To create a drop box for all users, choose “Write Only” privileges from the Everyone pop-up
menu. (For greater security, do not allow access to everyone—assign “None” for the
Everyone privileges.)
6 Click Save.
Supporting Client Computers
Users can set some privileges for files or folders that they create on the server or in shared
folders on their desktops. Users of AppleShare client software can set access privileges for
folders they own. Windows file sharing users can set folder properties, but not privileges.
Solving Problems
Users Can’t Access a CD-ROM Disc
m Make sure the CD-ROM disc is a share point.
m If you share multiple CDs, make sure each CD is shared using a unique name in the
Sharing pane.
Users Can’t Find a Shared Item
m If a user can’t find a shared item, check the access privileges for the item. The user must
have Read access privileges to the share point where the item is located and to each
folder in the path to the item.
m Keep in mind that server administrators don’t see share points the same way a user does
over AFP because administrators see everything on the server. To see share points from a
user’s perspective, log in using a user’s name and password.
m Although DNS is not required for file services, an incorrectly configured DNS could cause
a file service to fail.
Users Can’t See the Contents of a Share Point
m If you set Write Only access privileges to a share point, users won’t be able to see its
contents.
