TICKET ARCHIVE -> Sharing extnl HDD with Windows Sharing

emihatov - Sep 7, 2006 - 11:03 pm

Quad G5 with 10.4.7 OS X
Got an external 1TB RAIDed SCSI HDD attached and I'm trying to share this drive on the network with PCs. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

All you have to do is go to System Preferences and go to the sharring, check mark the windows sharring and create an account that will allow access. If you have multiple accounts you may have issues since in sharring it requires you to specify who you wish to give access too.

You can use SharePoints to do this easily;

Just got it. This looks exactly like what I'm after. I'm at a loss as to why this doesn't make up an integral part of the OSX operating system. I'll give this a try and will close the ticket as soon as I'm sure it's doing all I need it to do. Thanks again everyone.
