subfolders. You can now drag and drop files into the shared folders using Finder.

alias. Following are two ways to create to do that:

Note: Before creating an alias, click Finder>Preferences and make sure Connected Servers is
checked.

Click the item you wish to alias and hold down the mouse button. Hold down

the Cmd and Option keys simultaneously and drag the item to where you
want the alias to appear. Instead of moving the original item, this creates an
alias at the new location.

Double-click the item you want to alias (e.g., the Public share icon), and then

click File>Make Alias.

The Public share icon displays on your desktop.
