How to Connect to Windows File Sharing (SMB) folders from Mac OS X machines:
You must manually connect to the Research or General file share from your Mac OS X based machines. Occasionally the physical location of your files will change as servers are replaced, upgraded or volume sizes changed to support data growth. Follow these steps to connect to Windows File Sharing (SMB) from Mac OS X 10.1 or later. SMB is the native sharing protocol for Microsoft Windows operating systems. To permanently connect to these drives and place drive icons on your desktop complete the following:
Click the Finder icon in the Dock,
Click the Go menu
Click on Connect to Server
Connecting to the Public File Shares: From the Connect to Server window, in the Server Address box enter the server name and share volume
(it should look like smb://server_name/volume_name or smb://server_name.its.caregroup.org/volume_name)
Then click the Connect button. If you have not previously logged in you will seen a login prompt. Enter your ITS Username (e.g.: its\username) in the User name: box and your Outlook email password in the Password: text box. (if you wish to automatically reconnect in the future, click the store in keychain option).
After a short delay, you should see a Volume_Nme: globe icon on your desktop and in Finder.
Connecting to your Private File Share: To Access your private file share, repeat the above steps but use the server setting for your home file mapping (contact IS Support at 617-754-8080 if you need access to this information). For Example: your private share could map to //SR42Bromley.its.caregroup.org/username$ (you always put your username after the server name and end it with a $ - this indicates a hidden share). Click Connect and the username$ globe icon should appear on your desktop and Finder.
You only need to complete this process once per machine that you use. There after, the file share icons on your desktop will allow you to access and save files via Finder and various applications.
If you have any questions or need assistance with this process please contact IS Support at 617-754-8080 or ISupport@bidmc.harvard.edu
