Mapping a Drive in Windows
In addition to browsing the network to find the Snap Server and access its shares,
you can also connect to your Snap Server by mapping a drive to a share on the
server. The procedure to map a drive is essentially the same for all versions of
Windows, though some of the names change slightly from version to version (e.g.,
My Computer in NT/2000/XP vs Computer in Vista).
1
Right-click the My Computer icon on your desktop and select
Map Network Drive
,
or open Windows Explorer and select
Map Network Drive
from the Tools menu.
2
In the Map Network Drive dialog box, select a drive (or accept the default
selection) and type in the Snap Server and directory you want to map using the
syntax:
\\server\share
. For example:
\\Snap401178\Share1
3
If you want the drive to be mapped every time you log in, click to put a check in
the
Reconnect at logon
box. Click
Finish
.
4
You will be asked for your Snap Server userid and password if it is different than
your Windows logon. The drive will then be visible as a network drive.
Connecting a MacOS Client Using SMB
MacOS X clients can connect using SMB as well as AFP.
1
Choose
Go
from the Finder menu bar. In the Connect to Server dialog box, enter
one of the following:
smb://servername
smb://ipaddress
Click
Connect
.
2
Select a share (called a volume on the Mac) to mount on your desktop.
a
If “guest” is enabled for SMB or if your default log on is a valid SMB user, you
will be presented with a share selection dialog box. Choose the share to
connect to or click
Authenticate
to log in as a different user. A network icon
should appear on your desktop for the share.
b
If a user login prompt displays, enter a username and password. Once
authenticated, the share selection dialog box will be displayed. Choose the
share to connect to. A network icon should appear on your desktop for the
share.
Note
If you configured your Mac not to show drives on the desktop, you can find
the Snap Server by selecting
File > New Finder Window
in the menu bar.
