dsc106 Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I know this is only suppossed to be for OS X server, but I hear there is a way to enable additional sharing in OS X 10.4.9 I have an additional volume added, and I want to share all of it with read/write permission on my network, including windows PCs. How can I enable file sharing in OS X 10.4.9 for an entire volume that I can share with windows? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w.jeffrey Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 if i understand you correctly, there's a relatively simple way to do this. i used the "ln -s" command in terminal. what this will do is create a symbolic link for your other volume whether it be external or internal. open up terminal and type: ln -s /Volumes/NAME-OF-EXTERNAL-DRIVE LINK-FOLDER-NAME where "NAME-OF-EXTERNAL-DRIVE" is the name of whatever volume it is (doesn't have to be external), and replace "LINK-FOLDER-NAME" with the name of what you want the symbolic link's name to be in your Home directory, since that's what OSX shares. after you've typed the line, it should create a symbolic link for that volume in your Home directory, which should be visible to all other computers you're currently shared with (OSX or Windows). This should allow read/write ability. Hopefully this is what your question is about, if not, disregard this. best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecker Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Why not simply use SharePoints? It's a full GUI configuration center for all of your OSX sharing needs: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12512 Cheers, hecker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
