Mapping File Shares in macOS
Listen to this article:
Adding a File Share
Step 1
On the Dock, click the Finder icon.
Step 2
- With Finder active, click Go on the menu bar.
- Click Connect to Server
Step 3
- In the new Connect to Server window, type in the file share path.
- For department shares: casfs/DepartmentShareName
- For individual shares: casfs/Home
Note: You can paste in the new path if you have copied it from other documentation.
- Click the + button to add the address to the Favorite Servers
- Finally, click Connect to connect to the share.
Step 4
- In the new authentication window, choose to connect as a Registered User.
- Enter your Duck ID in this form (e.g. mmoresi)
- Type in your Duck ID password.
- Press Connect.
That’s it, you have successfully mounted a network file share on your Mac.
How does one obtain the file share path in Step 3? It has changed recently.
Here are the list of updated file paths: https://casit.uoregon.edu/faq/file-share/file-server-migration-december-2013
BTW, in Step 4 of the OSX mapping, it no longer is necessary to include the “ad\ ”
Just the duckid works for me.
