For accessing Amahi shared folders/files on a Mac OS X computer, you use the Finder. Select the Go menu, then:

  • Connect to Server (Apple-K shortcut).
    • Enter the Server Address: smb://hda/files (or the other HDA shares, like //hda/docs or //hda/music/ - you can set up several if you want to).
    • You can also use the HDA server's IP address instead (e.g. smb://192.168.1.50/files).
    • 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>
    • 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/files on your local system.

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