4.1.3 Mac Clients
The procedure for accessing a shared folder on a Mac varies, depending on whether the Mac is
running OS X or an older operating system. (Macs running OS X can access the same shared
CIFS folders as Windows users. Mac running older operating systems can access the same
shared NFS folders as Linux users.)
OS X
To access a shared folder on a Mac running OS X:
1. From the Go menu, click “Connect to Server”.
2. In the Address text box, enter the following and click Connect: “smb://storage_system”
where storage_system is the name or IP address of the storage system.
Note: You can use the storage system name only if that name is registered with
a DNS server on your network.
3. In the Select a share list, select the name of the shared folder that you want to access and
then click “OK”.
4. Enter the user name and password for accessing this shared folder, and then click “OK”. If
the guest user has access to this shared folder, you can use guest as both the user name
and password. An icon with the name of the shared folder is created on the desktop.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each shared folder that you want to access.
6. To access the shared folder, double-click the icon on the desktop.
Other Mac operating systems
For information about accessing a shared folder using NFS on a Mac running an operating
system older than OS X, please refer to your Mac documentation.
4.1.4 FTP Clients
If you enabled the storage system to act as an FTP server, all Windows/OS X users can use a
Web browser to access the public folder. They can also access their personal folder that was
created automatically when their user name was added to the storage system.
Note: Even if you changed the access rights to the public folder (for example, to
prevent a particular user from accessing it altogether or to limit a user to read-
only access), all existing users have full read/write access to the public folder
when accessing it via FTP.
To access the storage system using FTP:
1. At any Windows or OS X computer, open a Web browser, enter the following in the address
bar, and press Enter: “ftp://user_name@storage_system” where user_name is the user
name as defined on the storage system and storage_system is the name or IP address of
the storage system (for example, “ftp://user1@storage” or “ftp://[email protected]”). You
can use guest as the user name, but you will be able to access only the public folder.
Note: You can use the storage system name only if that name is registered with
a DNS server on your network.
2. If prompted, enter your user name and password for accessing shared folders, and then
