Mac OS Client Services
After Mac OS clients have upgraded their software, they can use AppleShare IP services as
follows.
Using Web & File Services
To use AppleShare file sharing services, users select the AppleShare icon in the Chooser, then
connect to the Web & File Server and access shared files (or volumes).
To use FTP services, client users need to enter an FTP address (for example, “ftp://
myserver.company.com”) in an that supports FTP. (The Web browsers that come with
Mac OS 8.5—Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator
™
—both support FTP).
To connect to your Web site, client users enter the Web server’s universal resource locator
(URL) into any industry-standard Web browser. The URL is “http://,” for
example, “myserver.company.com.” Alternatively, users can type in the IP address for the
AppleShare IP Web & File Server, for example, 172.33.156.88.
Using Mail Service
To connect to the Mail Server, users can use any Internet client mail application that supports
SMTP, POP, IMAP, Finger, or PASS protocols. The client’s e-mail program needs to be
configured with the account name, password, and e-mail address you assigned in the Mail
Admin program. See “Setting Up the Mail Server for the First Time” on page 58.
Using Print Service
m To use the Print Server over AppleTalk, Mac OS client users need to have version 7 or 8 of
the LaserWriter printer driver installed.
m To use the Print Server over TCP/IP, clients need to have LaserWriter 8.5 or later installed;
this software is provided in Mac OS 8.1 or later.
m To use password-protected printing, clients need to have LaserWriter 8.6.1 installed.
It’s best to upgrade all Mac OS clients on your network to use the same version of the printer
driver.
To check the version number of the printer driver, select the LaserWriter icon in the
Extensions folder (inside the System Folder) and choose Get Info from the File menu.
Windows Client Services
AppleShare IP provides file sharing (via AFP and SMB), FTP, Web, mail, and print services for
Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT users.
Note: As the AppleShare IP administrator, you should be aware of the differences between
administering for Windows and Mac OS users to avoid file sharing problems. For Windows
file sharing and naming guidelines, see the Windows File Sharing section in the Web & File
Server section of AppleShare IP Help.
