How can I wirelessly access my desktop's extrenal drive via my laptop?

I know that the Unix underpinnings of OSX only allow me to access my home folder wirelessly but most of the files I want to share are on my 250 gig lacie external drive.
There must be a way around this but I don't know what it is.
I would like to be able to copy and write to this drive from my Dell laptop.
I have a wireless network set up with airport extreme which works well otherwise.
Thanks,
Gord

You will need to use Sharepoints in order to share the hard drive.

  • How can I restrict access to add. internal hard drive by account?

    Hello! Okay, so I am my computer's administrator, and I have a secondary 'guest' account that anyone else can use. So, I know that all my data on my main, OS hard drive is secure from the guest account accessing it, but what about the additional hard drive that I have installed?
    I have a good deal of sensitive data and files stored (and aliased) on my second internal drive that I do not care for 'guest' users to stumble upon. How can I restrict access to the secondary storage hard drive from my Guest login account, and/or just plain hide it from it? Surely, there is a need for this that has brought about a solution. Any tips/advice/solutions?
    Thanks!!!
    =)

  • How can i restrict access to a mounted smb drive?

    Hope someone can help this is bugging me! i'm running this apple script as a student logs in to mount the students share folder, located on a MS2003 server, and a share drive on an Xserve to their desktop:
    set student_name to (do shell script "echo $USER")
    property stu_password : ""
    -- displays the password dialog box and stores the result in stu_password
    repeat while stu_password is ""
    display dialog "enter your password to access the share" default answer stu_password with hidden answer
    set stu_password to text returned of result
    end repeat
    -- mounts the network share to the desktop
    tell application "Finder"
    open location "smb://servername/stuhome/" & student_name & "/"
    open location "afp://" & student_name & ":" & stu_password & "@servername/Share/"
    end tell
    It works fine and mounts the drives however... finder then defaults the network location so the student has access to all the folders on /servername/stuhome/ I just want it to mount /servername/stuhome/username/ with no backwards access. I cant set permissions from a server folder level (i don't think!) as its a windows server. any suggestions? why does finder do this? ta.

  • How can I regain access to a MAC account? -- Macbook Pro?

    Situation:  My wife has a 13" Mac Book Pro, that we received in May 2011.
    OS: Mac OS X Snow Leopard (not sure which version it came with -- 10.6?)
    My wife's computer had two administrative accounts.  She uses one regularly, and the other is the 'primary' account for downloading updates and such.
    She was unable to figure out how to use Time Machine or any of the other backup software and the like.
    Yesterday, she updated to OS X Lion, and found that a number of the programs that she enjoys using no longer function.
    She wanted to roll-back to Snow Leopard.  After transferring the majority of the 'must-save' files, she put in the install disk again for snow leopard.  This allowed her to start fresh, however, she wants to regain access to those old accounts.  She tried, but, none of the passwords work anymore.  We know what the passwords are; but, they are not working.
    Our ATTEMPTED solution:  She found a site "http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-7339…  This site told her to do something in the boot terminal that allowed her to add a new administrative account.
    She tried going into that new admin account and changing the passwords to the other accounts; no joy.  She changes them, but, they are not retained when she logs off or restarts.
    How can she regain access to her old files?

    Open itunes.  Sign into your account.

    I live in China, have Dutch nationality, and no US address or Credit Card; how can I have access to products from the US iTunes store, in particular music, when such items are not available from the China iTunes store? In general, what are the differences between countries' iTunes offerings? Does one really need an address and a credit card for any country to be able to access that countries iTunes store? Why these restrictions?

    You cannot.
    You cannot use another countrys itunes store.
    You must be physically locates inside the borders of a country to use that countrys itunes store and a credit card issued in that country with a valid billing address in that country.
    The owners of the distribution rights of movies/music/etc differ by country.  These distributors decide who can sell their content in that country.
    Buy from another source if your countrys itunes store does not carry somehting that you want.

  • How can I get access back to sounds and lessons I have not downloaded before updating?

    When I purchased my Mac about two months ago, I had access to all of the lessons and sounds, I just had to download them.  I recently downloaded and installed the update and in doing so I lost access to sounds and lessons I had not downloaded.  It tells me that I need to purchase the sounds and lessons package.  How can I get access back since I have already purchased it?

    Apple does not support downgrading the iOS.
    Yes, iOS 7 looks quite different. But there are many new and valuable features. As time goes on you will not remember how it used to look.

    Two options: 1. In configuration manager on the AW, use the user list tool to add the users domain account and select Webview access permissions. 2. Using standard Microsoft Active Directory tools or the Cisco Domain Manager tool, add the desired AD user account into one of the "WebView" security groups created within the Cisco OU.

    I cannot access anymore via thunderbird while with the same pw i can access via browser after my account was blocked how can i restore access via email program?

    I was on my gmail account and looked at settings forward and pop/imap
    be sure they are activated.
    Imap if you want to access it from several places. That way you have the original on Gmail-server and copies on your pc.
    Pop on the other hand loads down the emails. perfect if its just one pc.
    (i'm not sure the Gmail-server deletes them thou).

  • How can my wife access all of our itunes music if she signs up for iTunes match, but her apple id is different than mine?

    How can my wife access all of our iTunes music, even if she subscribes to iTunes Match, if her Apple ID is different than mine?

    I do subscribe to iTunes Match.....and the music i am referring to is all of our downloaded albums and songs that are currently in iTunes and in the "cloud" on my iPhone and my iPad.
    So if she uses my Apple ID for her iPhone, she can sign up for iTunes Match on my account?  Will any of my apps then transfer to her phone?  Or just the iTunes "data"?
