Apple AppleShare IP 6.1 - Manual (Page 65)

Setting Up AppleShare IP 65
Upgrading Mac OS Clients
You can make the AppleShare Client 3.8.1 Installer available to Macintosh computers on your
network via the Web & File Server. Follow these steps:
1 Make sure your client computers have system software 7.6 or later and Open Transport 1.1.2
or later installed. ( You can find out the version of Open Transport by opening the TCP/IP
control panel and choosing Get Info from the File menu.) If possible, install Mac OS 8.5 on
all Mac OS client computers.
See an Apple-authorized dealer for information about purchasing this software, or visit The
Apple Store Web site at
http://store.apple.com
2 Open the Web & File Admin program.
Open the AppleShare IP Manager and click the Web & File Admin button. Enter your name
and password, then click OK.
3 If the Web & File Server is not running, choose Start Web & File Server from the Server
menu.
To see if the Web & File Server is running, check the Status area in the AppleShare IP
Manager window.
4 Make the Client Software 3.8.1 folder (on the server’s hard disk) a share point, and assign at
least Read Only access privileges to the Everyone category.
For instructions, see “Setting Up Share Points for the First Time” on page 49.
5 Provide users with the information they need to find the shared folder using the Chooser.
Users should open the Chooser and select the AppleShare icon, the zone in which the Web &
File Server is located, and the name of the server and volume they need to access.
The server name is the computer name that you entered in the File Sharing control panel.
The server zone is the zone you selected in the AppleTalk control panel. The volume they
need to access is the shared Client Software 3.8.1 folder.
6 Tell users to open the Client Software 3.8.1 folder and install as instructed.
Users should refer to the AppleShare Client 3.8 User’s Manual (in the Client Software 3.8.1
folder) for instructions on how to install and use the client software. The manual also has
information about interpreting access privileges.
Important
Do not violate your license agreement by installing the Mac OS 8.5 software that
comes with AppleShare IP 6.1 onto client computers.
To determine the number of client computers onto which you can install the AppleShare
Client 3.8.1 software, see your license agreement.
