The procedure for accessing a shared folder on a Mac varies, depending on
whether the Mac is running OS X or an older operating system. (Macs running OS X
can access the same shared CIFS folders as Windows users. Mac running older
operating systems can access the same shared NFS folders as Linux users.)
To access a shared folder on a Mac running OS X:
1. From the Go menu, click Connect to Server.
2. In the Address text box, enter the following and click Connect:
smb://storage_system
where storage_system is the name or IP address of the storage system.
Note: You can use the storage system name only if your computer is in
the same subnet as the storage system, if you added the storage system's
IP address and name to your local hosts file, or if you manually registered the
name with a DNS server in your network.
3. In the Select a share list, select the name of the shared folder that you want to
access and then click OK.
4. Enter the user name and password for accessing this shared folder, and then
click OK.
If the guest user has access to this shared folder, you can use guest as both
the user name and password.
An icon with the name of the shared folder is created on the desktop.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each shared folder that you want to access.
