9 Working with File Services
Use this chapter to learn the commands to create share
points and manage file services.
This chapter covers the commands used to configure and manage these file services.
Mac OS X Server allows you to set up central network storage that is accessible to
clients throughout your organization. Using native protocols, it delivers the following
file services to heterogeneous clients on your network:
 Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) for Mac
 Network File System (NFS) for UNIX and Linux
 Server Message Block (SMB) for Windows
 WebDAV and FTP for Internet clients
For more information about file services, see File Services Administration.
Managing Share Points
A share point is a folder, hard disk, hard disk partition, CD, or DVD that users can access
over the network to share information. Users with access privileges, which are assigned,
view share points as mounted volumes.
Mac OS X Server supports Microsoft Windows file sharing of any defined share point,
not just Shared and Public folders in a users Home folder. It also supports Windows
Internet Naming Service (WINS), which allows Windows clients across multiple subnets
to perform name/address resolution.
To list, create, modify, and disable share points, use the sharing tool described in the
following sections.
To set space quotas for share points, use the edquota command.
For more information, see the sharing and edquota man pages.
