For accessing Amahi shared folders/files on a Mac OS X computer, you use the Finder.
There are two several ways to connect to your Amahi HDA. Using the Finder directly and Connecting to the server share from the Finder.
== Using the Finder Directly ==
* Click on the '''hda''' share. A Finder window should come up with '''Connected as: Guest''' at the top. The visible shares should be listed. However, as guest they are not 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.
To set your system to auto-connect at login or startup, see this [http://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/Support/KB/Docs/MacOSXConnectingToSMB great intro article].
== Connecting with the command line ==
For the power users out there, there are commands to mount the Amahi HDA server on demand. This is an example:
mkdir -p ~/Desktop/hda/movies
mkdir -p ~/Desktop/hda/music
mount_smbfs '//hda/movies' ~/Desktop/hda/movies
mount_smbfs '//hda/music' ~/Desktop/hda/music
The mount commands will ask for password appropriately.
A more general form of this mount command for a given user and a domain is like this:
mount_smbfs '//home.com;user@hda/share' ~/Desktop/hda/share
You have to replace home.com for your own domain in your network and user for the user you want to access the share as.
