SharingToMacOSX

For accessing Amahi shared folders/files on a Mac OS X computer, you use the Finder.

Using the Finder Directly

The Finder should show an entry for hda under SHARED on the left.

• Click on hda. A Finder window with "Connected as: Guest" at the top should show. The visible shares should be listed. However, as guest they would not be writeable.
• There should be a button to the right saying "Connect As ..." which when clicked, opens a window (with a derisive picture of a PC with a BSOD) and the option to connect as guest or registered user.
• Click on registered user and in the name put the username you want to access the share as, then the password.
• Click on the "Remember this password in my keychain" if you want to autoconnect in the future.

Connecting to a Server from the Finder

Select the Go menu, then:

• Connect to Server (Apple-K shortcut).
  • Enter the Server Address: smb://<user>@hda/Movies with your samba username instead of <user>
  • Press the "+" sign beside the Server Address line, so the connection is saved as a favorite.
  • Click Connect.
• Complete the SMB/CIFS File System Authentication form:
  • Domain: HDA
  • Name: <your HDA username>
  • Password: <your HDA user password>
  • You may want to check the Remember this password in my keychain so you can auto-connect in the future.
• Enjoy, the mounted drive should appear now in the Finder and be available at /Volumes/Movies on your local system.

You can connect to all the HDA shares, like //hda/Docs or //hda/Music, or as many as you have shares.

If your Mac OS X user matches the Samba user, you can eliminate <user>@ above

To set your system to auto-connect at login or startup, see this great intro article.
