4.1 Creating a new share point (10.1 server) |
|
|
A share point is any folder on the server whose contents you would like shared between different users on the network. Share points are generally available from the "Go" menu in Mac OS X, and from the "Chooser" in Mac OS 9 and earlier. The following describes creating a new network share-point... |
|
|
Log on to the server as "root". Create a new folder for the share point on your main storage volume. |
|
| Run "Server Admin" from the toolbar. | |
| In the "Server Admin Logon" window, enter the server IP address, the "administrators" name, and the "administrators" password. | |
| Select "Set Sharing Attributes" from the "Sharing" icon | |
| Highlight the folder that you just created, then click the "Choose" button | |
|
Permissions for the share point depends on your individual requirements - however, the following is a good starting point... Set the "Owner" to your server administrator with read/write access Set the "Group" to "wheel" with read access Give "Everyone" read access Tick the "Share this item and its contents" tickbox.
Click the "Save" button to make the changes. |
|
| Notice that the new share point appears in the "Disks & Share Points" window. | |
| Repeat the process for every other share-point that will be shared from the server. | |
