Network Access to the Server

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

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

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.

the Snap Server by selecting
File > New Finder Window
in the menu bar.
