Setting Up AppleShare IP 6.0 49
The user can use this alias to connect to the Web & File Server. The Mail Server uses this alias
to identify the user when the user’s client mail application logs on to the Mail Server over
TCP.
Note: If the user’s name does not include spaces or special characters, he or she can use
mail or FTP services without having an Internet alias.
9 Click Save.
The new user is created and appears in the Users & Groups List window.
Note: If your name (as owner of the computer) includes spaces or special characters, you
should assign yourself an Internet alias now. Double-click your name in the Users & Groups
List window, enter an Internet alias using the guidelines in step 8, then click Save. As the
administrator, you can use your Internet alias to log on to administer any AppleShare IP
servers for which you are the administrator.
10 Complete the rest of this chapter, then go to the Users & Groups section in AppleShare IP
Help to register your remaining users.
You can repeat steps 5 through 9 above to register all of your users now. However, many
options and tips for quickly and efficiently setting up large numbers of users and groups are
described in AppleShare IP Help.
Setting Up File Sharing for the First Time
Before clients can use AppleShare or Windows file sharing or FTP services, you need to
specify a disk, CD-ROM disc, or folder as a share point and assign access privileges to it. A
share point is a disk, CD-ROM disc, or folder that is made available to users on a network.
Note: If you’ve upgraded from AppleShare 3 or 4, or AppleShare IP 5, the folders and hard
disks that you shared before you installed AppleShare IP 6.0 are still being shared. You do not
need to create a new share point, and can skip ahead to “Setting Up Web Service for the First
Time” on page 52. If you will be providing Windows file sharing service, however, make sure
the names of your previous share points have 12 characters or fewer and contain no special
characters or spaces.
To create a share point, follow these steps:
1 Open the Web & File Admin program, if it’s not already open.
Important If you’re planning to enable FTP or Windows file sharing service, make sure the
names of any shared hard disks, folders, or files include only letters and numbers and contain
12 characters or fewer. Avoid using spaces and special characters that are produced in
combination with the Option key. If necessary, you should change the names of any share
points in the Finder before continuing with this task.
