1

Connect to the server.

2

Click the server’s icon, then open the File menu and choose Make Alias.

Drag the alias from your desktop to your System Folder.

The alias is copied to the Servers folder in your System Folder. ( When you don’t want to
connect to the server automatically, remove the alias from the Servers folder.)

Disconnecting From a File Server

and choose Put Away from the File menu.)

You are disconnected from the server automatically when you shut down your computer. The
administrator can also disconnect you from the file server.

Finding Out What Privileges You Have

User Categories

Access privileges determine what files and folders you and other users on a file server can see
or change. The owner of a folder can set access privileges for three user categories: Owner,
User/Group, and Everyone.
