Access the Argofiler from Mac OS X
- On the toolbar, open Go > Connect to Server.
- In the Server Address box, enter the path to the folder that you would like to access (Figure 2). The Home and Web folders should be entered as follows:
For facstaff shares:
Home: smb://argofiler.argo.uwf.edu/facstaff/home/argonetusername
Web: smb://argofiler.argo.uwf.edu/facstaff/web/argonetusername
For student shares:
Home: smb://argofiler.argo.uwf.edu/students/home/argonetusername
Web: smb://argofiler.argo.uwf.edu/students/web/argonetusername
For departmental shares:
Home: smb://argofiler.argo.uwf.edu/facstaff/home/departmentalshare
Web: smb://argofiler.argo.uwf.edu/facstaff/web/departmentalshare
Note: If the Mac computer is already on the Argonet domain you do not need to enter the “.argo.uwf.edu”. Instead, you can simply enter smb://Argofiler/facstaff/home/______
- Once the path is configured, you can add the path to the Favorite Servers list for faster access by clicking the + sign.
- After entering the Server Address, click the Connect button. You will be prompted to enter your domain credentials.
Enter the following information:
Workgroup or Domain: Argonet
Name: Your ArgoNet username
Password: Your ArgoNet password
Special Considerations when mapping to the Argofiler: Incomplete Network File Shares - For unknown reasons, Mac OS cannot mount a drive and point to its specific path (i.e. smb://argofiler.argo.uwf.edu/facstaff/home/argonetusername). When mounted, the drive will point to the top level share (i.e. smb://argofiler.argo.uwf.edu/facstaff) and will have a mount icon on the desktop as just Facstaff or Students. Invalid Characters - The following characters which may be allowed by Mac OS X or earlier are not allowed to be used on the Argofiler. Files and/or folders with these characters in their name must be changed before being transferred to the Argofiler. \ (Back Slash) |
