The Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) is a network protocol that offers file services for Mac OS X and original Mac OS.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT MEANT FOR PEOPLE WHO DONT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING

Installation into Amahi

  1. Open a terminal either on the desktop or SSH
  2. Become root (sudo -s or su -)
  3. yum -y install netatalk
  4. Once the app is installed you can add the folders you wish to share over AFP by editing the /etc/atalkd/netatalk.conf file and adding them at the bottom. Full instructions to edit that file are in the actual file
  5. /etc/init.d/atalkd start. Note that this will take longer then the next time you start AFP.
  6. Try to connect from Finder from your Mac! You should see the server in the sidebar

TODO

Integrate AFP with the Shares tab of the WebUI just as tightly as Samba is
