In both cases, <hostname> is the name that you assigned to your ReadyNAS system or the default host name if you did not change it.

Note: If you cannot access the ReadyNAS using its host name, try entering afp://<ReadyNAS IP address> or smb://<ReadyNAS IP address> instead. <ReadyNAS IP address> is the IP address of the ReadyNAS.

4.Click the Connect button.

You are prompted to log in to your ReadyNAS system.

5.Enter a user ID and password.

You can log in with administrator or user credentials. If you log in as a user, your access is limited by the settings configured by the ReadyNAS system administrator.

You are prompted to select a volume. Mac OS X calls your ReadyNAS shared folders volumes.

6.Select the volume or volumes (shared folder or folders) you want to access and click the OK button. Finder displays the volume contents.

Use a Linux or Unix Device

You can access shared folders on your ReadyNAS system using a network-attached Linux or Unix device.

Note: Your ReadyNAS system does not support NIS because it is unable to correlate NIS information with SMB user accounts. In mixed environments where you want SMB and NFS integration, manually specify the user ID and group ID of the user and group accounts to match your NIS or other Linux or Unix server setting.

To access an SMB shared folder using a network-attached Linux or Unix device:

1.Ensure that the SMB file-sharing protocol is enabled on your ReadyNAS system. For more information, see Set Network Access Rights to Shared Folders on page 48.

2.Using a terminal program, enter the following command:

mount [-t smb -o username= <user name> ,password= <password> ] // <ReadyNAS IP address> / <shared folder name> <mount point>
