Allowing Guest Access in Windows Services
Guests are users who can see information on your server without using a name or password
to log in. For better security, do not allow guest access.
To enable guest access to the server:
1 In Server Settings, click the File & Print tab.
2 Click Windows and choose Configure Windows Services.
3 Click the Access tab and select “Allow Guest access.”
4 Click Save.
Assigning the Windows Server to a Workgroup
Users see the workgroup name in the Network Neighborhood window. If you have Windows
domains on your subnet, use one of them as the workgroup name to make it easier for
clients to communicate across subnets. Otherwise, consult your Windows network
administrator for the correct name.
To assign a workgroup name:
1 In Server Settings, click the File & Print tab.
2 Click Windows and choose Configure Windows Services.
3 Click the General tab and type a name in the Workgroup field.
4 Click Save.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Service
FTP allows computers to transfer files over the Internet. Clients using any operating system
that supports FTP can connect to your file server and download files, depending on the
permissions you set. Most Internet browsers and a number of freeware applications can be
used to access your FTP server.
FTP service in Mac OS X Server is based on the source code for Washington University’s FTP
server, known as “wu-FTPd.” However, modifications have been made to the original source
code to deliver a better user experience. Some of these differences are described in the
following sections.
