Do not type the brackets.)
Click the "+" sign to save the NSS address to the Favorite Servers list so that
the next time you log in you just need to select the address from the list.
STEP 3
Click Connect.
STEP 4
When the Login window appears, enter your username and password. If your user
profile is set up locally (that is, through the NSS configuration interface and not
through the ADS or NTv4 domain) and the NSS is joined to a domain, you need to
enter the following: <NSS hostname>\<user name>. If the NSS is not joined to a
domain, just enter the username.
STEP 5
Depending on your privileges to the share, you can begin using the NSS storage.
Mac Users: Accessing Storage through FTP
Mac users who have a user profile can access any shares to which they have
privileges on the NSS storage using FTP. Note that when using FTP to access the
NSS storage, users cannot rename folders. To rename a folder, use CIFS or NFS if
enabled on the share.
To access the NSS storage using FTP:
STEP 1
Open your FTP client application.
STEP 2
Click Connect.
STEP 3
From your FTP client application, connect to the NSS. Enter the IP address or
hostname of the NSS. For more information about using your FTP client
application, refer to its documentation.
NOTE:
Before your end users can access the
shares on the NSS using FTP, the NSS must
have FTP access enabled and the individual
share must be set up to allow FTP access.
