3.1.3.7 Accessing Share Folder from Mac Clients


NOTE: By default, new Mac OS versions such as 10.4.x or later
versions, support SMB protocol.

If Mac OS is older version, such as Mac OS 9, and will use AFP

protocol to connect, the AFP protocol must be enabled in System
Service. Enable also Mac(AFP) in Storage/Share
Share/Security
Share
Protocol Setting.

Make sure the account that will be used to login the share folder has

permission (already added in Storage/Share Share/Security
Share
Privilege).



1. To connect to share folder via SMB protocol, in the Finder, select “Connect to Server”

from the Go menu. The Connect to Server dialog box will be displayed.


2. In Server Address box, enter the path to the NAS share. Use the format:

smb://x.x.x.x/share-name or smb://NAS-host-name/share-name.

For example: smb://192.168.99.127/share1


NOTE: You can also use the NAS host name instead of IP address, if
DNS setting is configured in NAS
Network Device Configuration,
in Mac OS, and in DNS server.

If you enabled AFP service and Mac(AFP) Protocol Setting, and
wanted to connect to NAS share folder via AFP, use the format:
afp://x.x.x.x/share-name.
For example: afp://192.168.99.127/share1
