Sharing folders across Xserve

I hope I can make sense of this. I am somewhat of a rookie with Workgroup Manager and Xserve. I have 30 computers (Imacs) using a Xserve 10.4.11 version. The students have their own accounts. I am trying to have one student, let's say sitting on computer one who wants to share a document with a student on computer 30. I heard that you could share files using the student's "public folder>drop Box" on their computer. I have yet to figure out how to do that.
Any help?

Hi
To be honest enabling Peer to Peer Sharing has nothing to do with XServe or OSX Server. If that's what you're really asking?
To share a Drop Folder from a client machine so as others can access the data launch System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing. That's it.
However I have to ask why? If you have a server why don't you simply create and share a share point instead? Place your data there and then assign read/write access for all your clients. Shared data can be accessed that way instead as everyone gets to 'see' it.

Sharing folders across several computers without restriction?

I thought I followed all of the directions I could find on apple.com so I am asking the community for help.
Here is what we want to do:
I want to be able to access the same things on my laptop as I can on my desktop. I setup shared folders, but they only work when my laptop is on. I don't want to use the laptop all of the time, but sometimes I need to as I have to take it with me to work on a project. I'd like to be able to come home after using my laptop all day and log on to my iMac and then continue my work. Is this possible?
Also my husband would like to do the same from his laptop. He would like that if we are on our laptops that we could share a file, both having read and write access to it. I have tried to mess with permissions from both our computers to give us both unlimited access to all three computers, but it isn't working and when he looks some of my folders are restricted and the same with his.
We need some serious help here and need step-by step instructions because we obviously keep messing something up.
We have Time Capsule, Time Machine and AirPort wireless network. Let me know if you need any other info to help us out and i will get it for you.
Thanks!

My understanding is holding down the option key while dragging a file from one computer to another fixes permissions. But I've had mixed results. You might look into DropBox or ExecSync. My partner and I travel a lot and have the same situation when we come home. Too bad we can't specify a folder, where we could put current projects, that we could designate MobileMeSync to include in it's sync.

Sharing folders across multiple Macs

Other than an old post about now-defunct iDisk, I don't seem to easily find an answer to this on the boards so am posting my own question.
I have two Macs – an old MBPro and a newer iMac. The laptop cannot run Mountain Lion as it's too old; both devices now run Lion. Now I want to solve document sharing issues so I don't have to manually manage synchonization.
I want the content of certain folders on my iMac to be available to both devices (and preferable my iPad/iPhone as well) anywhere I go and have Internet access. Lacking Internet access, I want the last synced version available, and when I'm online again, any changes will be synced back to the cloud.
I have iCloud service (25GB for $40/year) as well as 100GB Dropbox subscription that costs me $120/year. I don't think I need both(?) Using more iCloud storage means that I'd pay $100/year for just 50GB. So it seems Dropbox is the better deal at least space-for-money-wise. The initial folder I want to share is about 7GB but I can see this growing as I sync more things.
I cannot see using simple file sharing from the iMac as it isn't always running; that is, it might be asleep or even powered off.
Anyone willing to share the "best practice" approach to getting this done in a secure way that doesn't have me worrying about some third-party accessing all the documents?
Thank you in advance.

You can use Sugarsync for this, it is free (up to 5GB) and inexpensive if 5G is insufficient.
Once installed you can choose any combination of folders from one machine for replication on another. Changes made on either machine are reflected on the other. It will work on Macs, PC's IOS and Android devices.

Difficulty sharing folders across home wireless network

Can anyone tell me how to set sharing permissions so that when I share a folder on my home network, all the sub-folders and files are also made accessible? As it stands, sharing a folder does not change the sharing permissions of the sub-folders and files contained within it. If I have to manually set the sharing permission of every single document I want to share, it's going to mean a ton of work!

Have you carefully studied?

Simple ways of sharing folders across users?

Hi
I realise this has been done to death, but after many attempts I am wondering if I am missing something. I am using the top level public folder and system preferences route to drop in a folder that contains several sub folders and then multiple documents in each folder. So far it looks like I need to set access rights for each user at a main folder and sub folder (which is painful, but OK), but then also for every document which is contained in them.
Am I missing something - I am trying to quickly allow access to an existing file structure so we can both work on it retaining only one copy, and I don't want to start from fresh, or have duplicates.
Any thoughts?

Hi MartinR
Yep tried this one and even sorting our the file preferences at an individual file level to ensure they were read & write by user does not seem to work. You can open the file, but you can't alter it unless, of course, you originated it - not unless I am missing something again.

Upgraded 2 macs to Mavericks, can no longer access shared folders/files.

So I upgraded my Macbook Pro, and Mac Mini to Mavericks today, and previously when they were both on mountain lion I could access the shared folders/files and screen share with absolutely no issue whatsoever.
But upon updating to Mavericks today it all broke.
Both computers were running the OS X Server software on Mountain Lion, and I went ahead and purchased/installed the new edition of server that came out today.
I can see the other mac under the "Shared" option in Finder's sidebar, but when I try to open the other mac it says connection failed and offers to "connect as"
As I usually do, I connect as and it asks for the login credentials. I put in the same credentials as before, 150% sure they're right, in the text boxes that I used before, but it won't allow me to connect to the mac.
I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they're the right credentials.
I thought it may have been just a wonky permissions error so I unshared the folders and reshared using the same permissions that had worked before.
I've been working on it for about 3 hours now so any help would be appreciated.

I upgraded my two machines - now when I access files on the "shared" storage array (a thunderbolt, pegasus array) across the network (ethernet) if I modify the file (for instance, a jpg) and then go to save I get a "you don't have permissions to etc...." and then when I just close the file without saving - it disappears from my file server permanently! even if I go to the machine hooked up to the array the file is "gone" - unbelievable. I have updated permissions where I can, deleted and added the sharing for users, tried SMB and AFP, and even downgraded the "sharing" machine back to OSX 10.8 where it was working fine but the client machine still is doing this where it can connect, see all the files, but as soon as I modify a file I get the warning and bam, it's gone forever....
Wow - this is a doozy. I don't have a fix but WARNING - watch out as you are working on this problem that your files are being vanished permanently.

Server 2008R2 mapping to shared folders fails users of Windows 8.1 but seems OK on Windos 8.0 and no problems for Windows 7

Having read what I could from the related questions, the answers still elude me. This issue apparently is specific to Windows 8.1.
First, a little background.
1: The server is not on a domain, The system runs Server 2008-R2 standard with all folders shared across a standard "Workgroup" type network. They would prefer to
leave this layout intact.
2: The shared folders are nothing but Data files. There are no active system folders or anything used in an "active" environment. They are mostly Word doc, excel
files, pdf, txt, etc. However, due to the requirements of the software that needs to access these files, they Must
reside on a mapped network drive letter. Nothing else works due to the way the SQL database program stores the reference points back to the data.
I have had some success using what amounts to a “simulated” mapping using WebDAV to access the server. But access speed is a lot slower ad file size is limited.
3: The system has been configured as-is for the past 3 years with Users all on Windows 7 x64 (mixed OS, some Home Premium, some Professional) and the only problems that come up are when
access is through an ISP that blocks port 445. This was the original reason for finding a WebDAV/Cloud method just for those Users since they were unable to Map drives to anything on the Office Servers from their Home Internet even when using a VPN.
When Windows 8.0 became the only version available, I added a few users whose new laptops came with 8.0 from the vendors. While there were a very few minor problems, for all practical
purposes, I was still able to provide access to the mapped folders.
As the Windows 8.1 roll-out progressed, some users were successfully upgraded while others are still stuck in Windows 8.0. The issues with this seem to be hardware related and vary
depending on the Make and model of the laptop. I have been assured that eventually all of these will be able to advance to 8.1. But this delay has given me an excellent mixed OS environment for testing.
On the users who have not yet purchased new equipment and who are still using Windows 7. There has been no change. Their drive mapping is stable and they can always connect as usual.
Those blocked from lack of port 445 or still blocked. Systems inside the Office and those with ISP's who allow port 445 can use all mapped drives as normal.
Users who had Windows 8.0 and who have not yet been able to upgrade to 8.1 also have been unaffected. Same results as Windows 7.
Users who got the Windows 8.1 upgrade as well as those that came factory loaded with Windows 8.1 seem to be a never-ending list of problems. The ones that came native with 8.1 are worst
of all. The list of error codes runs through everything that has to do with “communication with the server”. As far as I have seen, this appears to be the issue.
Whether they are in the office on a wired network connection or at home on a Wi-Fi connection, the issues have the same results but the actual error codes may vary slightly. All of
them refer back to an inability to communicate with the server.
Nothing on the server has changed in any way. Users with Windows 7 continue to have zero problems, Users with Windows 8.0 seem to be doing fine as well. Only those with Windows
8.1 are affected and their problems are dramatic with everything from a total loss of drive mapping to misdirected data when the maps are active.
I have tried to make the drives automatically remap on reboot. I have tried registry modifications. I have done everything I can think of to make a difference but the results are the same
for every system using 8.1. The mapped drive letters invariably disappear. Sometimes while the system is in use ( I think I have been able to trace this to times when the system enters Sleep or Hibernate) but always when the system reboots.
One detail that might point to somewhere is that the "time to connect" when mapping the drive is so long that I believe some of the original failures were due to not waiting for a
minimum of 3 or 4 minutes to give time for the Shares to show-up in order to map them. Once the mapping is successful, the file access speed seems normal. But invariably, the drive becomes "unmapped" repeatedly each day.
I know this was a long question but I have tried to provide every possible detail for anyone who has experienced events like this who may already have a solution. I would even be glad
to purchase a 3rd party application if that is what it takes to get this to work. My next planned effort is to try using Server 2013 but I am afraid that might open another can of worms for those who still use Windows 7.
I have also been told that this is in some way related to the push to "Cloud" support in Windows 8.1 OS but I do not see where this would come in. I can say that this was the
one place where things continued to work as before. People who had Windows 8.1 and who had to use the CLOUD copies of our data are still able to connect to it with no problems.
Any suggestions appreciated. Preferably those that would not need extensive changes to the basic network structure. This "workgroup" consists of less than 25 users and any
extreme measures would be hard to justify

Hi，
I sugget you try to ping server so that we can verify the connectivity.
Can windows 8.1 access Windows Server 2008R2?
Also,please check the event viewer to see if some error log appeared when the issue occurred.

Spotlight, can't search anything into shared folders, share volumes

Hi,
I installed Léopard twice already (a clean install) and since I'm stuck with a problem that I've not been able to understand. I just can't make any search into shared folders, shared volumes or even dmg disk image over the network.
Server is a Tiger Server and mdutil -s tell me that indexing is activated on any shared volume but no matter what I type in spotlight's search field, if it is not on a directly connected disk then I get nothing.
An ideas ? Is there any command line that could reset Spotlight to it's standart default values ?
Thanks for any help

As far as I know you need to install Leopard server for it to work. Everything has to be running Leopard (clients and server) to do Spotlight searches across the network. Also, I found I had to manually mount the shares (command-k then afp://myserver/myshare in the text field) to get Leopard to search the shares. Without doing that, the searches also failed.

Cannot access shared folders anymore....

Hi,
We have a naughty problem at the office for accessing shared folders .
We use G5 Xserve + Xraid serving home access to 12 macs.
Our problem started when we updated all machines to 10.5.2 (nor did we have a problem with 10.5.1 or with 10.5.0).
All machines login correctly, fetch their folders with their home accesses located in the Xserve, as allways did, BUT :
·Almost all the machines running Leopard (except two) CANNOT access shared items. They get Error -5002
·The old machines running Tiger (G3 Imac's) acess shared items without problem.
So after many weeks doing multiple tests, we got the following conclusions:
·Problem is not server related.
·Problem si related to Leopard clients , although not in all
·Problem is not related to the machine, but with the account (accounts that can access shared items do it on any machine, and accounts that can't, don't do it on any machine)
·It seems that the trouble is related somewhat with Kerberos authentication, but it's not related to tickets (renewing them is no use)
·If we create new account with new name, it can access shared items
·If we create new account with same name that of the faulty one (renaming the later), it CANNOT access shared items.
We have got a problem in the office, and no clue of solving it.... Have read all over apple discussions over the internet, and although some people have similar issues, they are not as close as ours....
And none of the solutions proposed have solved the problem.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, cause we are starting to get desperate
Thanks everyone.

new update:
we are able to connect to remote shared folders with a different remote server (dual G4) from every machine
machines who can connect to local server are INTELs, the one who can't are PPCs
makes any sense to anyone?¿

Open Directory and connection to shared folders fail

Hi,
For testing i've setup an Open Directory Master (Leopard server 10.5.2) with shared folders and portable home directories.
Login and synhronizing works as it should. But once logged in, when i click on the server in finder i just get connection failed. When i choose "connect as" and log in as the same user and password as authenticated at the login to the computer (authenticated to OD) it works.
I thought it should work like a single sign on?
Any clues?

Hi
If you browse the discussion forum you should find this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1251475&tstart=0
Basically browsing using the Finder or Side Panel does not work well or breaks easily (as far as I can tell it has been like this since 10.2). In an OD environment trying to connect and getting a ticket using that method will probably fail. The workaround - or the 'fix' - is to use 'Connect to Server' from the Go Menu using the Server's IP address. In my experience it does not seem to matter whether AFP is set to Kerberos, Any or Standard for the authentication method. It also does not seem to matter whether the Server is configured in Standard or Advanced.
I've not come across anything yet regarding Workgroup. Probably in that configuration it may not be an issue as this mode - as far as I can see - is ideal for AD-OD integration. In that environment OSX Server would not be the KDC and mac clients will be using the AD for SSO.
Since this has been happening since 10.2 I don't see Apple addressing this anytime soon, however you never know?

What can I use to get shared media across OSes on my local network?

Hey guys,
My family is getting a new home entertainment center and I've thrown together a PC from spare parts around the house to put behind it and I'd like to know if there's a program out there that would allow me to gather shared media across the local network (everyone else in my family uses Windows...mainly Vista :-/ ). If not, is there any other way I can access the shared media (short of putting Windows on the PC of course)? I tried searching, but I couldn't seem to come up with anything.
Thanks in advance!

Alright, so I've been working with Samba today, and I believe I have it working properly. However, I can't seem to access any shared files/folders on machines that have Vista on them.
When I run smbtree, I get this output:
\\HOMEMEDIA
\\WINXPCOMP
\\VISTACOMP1
timeout connecting to 192.168.1.107:445
timeout connecting to 192.168.1.107:139

cli_start_connection: failed to connect to VISTACOMP2<20> (0.0.0.0). Error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
\\WIN7PC
I'm not really sure what to do here. I've tried changing around settings in the smb.conf file, but I'm not really sure what exactly it is that I'm doing for every option. Also, smbtree sometimes won't output a tree at all and it will just hang. I'm quite confused, any suggestions on what I should try?
Also, one of my Windows 7 PCs won't show up on smbtree. I can ping it though...maybe it's not on the right workgroup?
EDIT: I was able to fix the problem with my second Windows 7 computer, apparently I had to change from 128-bit encryption to 40/56 bit encryption, then smbtree was able to pick up on it.

Unwanted 'Shared Folders'

This is what I'm seeing inside /usr/bin/cyrus/admin/:
Other Users/imapUser1
Other Users/imapUser2
Other Users/imapUser##, etc
Shared Folders/._-akstcmydomainmnsdgs (\HasNoChildren)
Shared Folders/Deleted Messages (\HasNoChildren)
Shared Folders/Drafts (\HasNoChildren)
Shared Folders/Sent Messages (\HasNoChildren)
I found a thread from '06 where someone discovered that the problem happens when a group name is the same as a user name. When he changed the short group name, the problem went away. Sure enough, I realized I did have a group name with the same short name as an (admin) user. However when I changed the short group name and restarted mail service, these unwanted shared folders did not go away.
On a possibly related note, I have also found the same stuff inside /var/spool/imap:
/var/spool/imap/^_-akstcmydomainmnsdgs
/var/spool/imap/Deleted Messages
/var/spool/imap/Drafts
/var/spool/imap/Junk E-mail
/var/spool/imap/Sent Messages
/var/spool/imap/user/user1
/var/spool/imap/user/user2
/var/spool/imap/user/user3
etc
My imap users are seeing these shared folders in their mailbox, and I don't want them to. I cannot delete these shared folders using an email client. What is the best way to delete them? Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Xserve Mac OS X (10.4.8)

ok pterobyte heres the log entries and the header part of messages causing the problem. At the moment the reason the 2 shared boxes are showing up repeatedly is cause there in my queue so qmgr is trying to send them, it creates the error in the log and bingo the shared box appears. The mail DID NOT come from in house as the header snippets will show. (i pulled both raw email files from the /var/spool/postfix/deferred/ to examine) It appears and I'm only guessing cause I'm no expert but someone from the outside is trying to relay a virus/spam through my smtp with some sort of back door in the coding of the from header. Both e-mails in the queue look like spam and have a MIME attach that looks virus like.

Can someone help? Trying to share folders across my network-.

New to Mac after years of Windows use. I like to share my media across my network and no matter what I try I can't get my media players to recognize my Mac. This is what I have done so far. On the Mac I went to system preferences>sharing>I tick the "file sharing" window. I then drag my shared folder titled TV Shows and drop this folder into the shared folders pane> next, I see to the right users of this Mac. Here I see my name, system group, and everyone. I have set all privelages to read/write and highlight my name. Above this field I click options and click Share folders using SMB and directly below my name is checked. I also manually entered the mac ip address with the folder TV Shows in the source window of media player and still nothing. Just top check I restablished connection with my old W7PC and immediately all shares where visible.
Hopefully someone can help. FWIW... I also highlighted the folder TV Shows and clicked Get Info to ensure sharing was set and it is.
Thank you!

Try adding the Mac User & PW to the Win7PC...

Windows 2008 R2 SP1 (64bit) shared folders no longer work with Windows 7 Pro but do work with WindowsXP & Windows 2003

As of last week, our Windows 7 Pro workstations can not map or browse the Windows 2008 Server shares. They can ping the Windows 2008 server. The Windows 7 Pro machines can still access the Windows 2003 Server Shares. The older workstations running Windows
XP can still map to the both the Windows 2003 & Windows 2008 Servers. All the servers can browse to each others shared folders (2 windows 2003 server & 1 windows 2008 server).

Ok, now you're down to network or permissions issues. An unedited ipconfig /all
of server and problem workstation may help. You could also try setting up some auditing.

My Macbook Air does not show up on my network to any of my other computers, Other computers on my network appear and disappear, some shared folders are not accessible

My Macbook Air with Lion does not show up on my network to any of my other computers (PC's) , even though it is connected to my wifi and does access the Internet. In addition, my other computers sometimes show up in Finder and sometimes they're not there. Sometimes they do show in Finder and when I click on them, I get "Connection Failed", other times, they connect. Also some shared folders on those other computers, which are PC's are not accessible, even though fully shared. My network is Apple Airport Extreme and works perfectly otherwise, including all PC's being able to see each other. Help would be much appreciated

I got the same problem. I want to access my shared folder on my home windows7 from my MBA. Tried many suggestions on the web but all to no avail. I thought that should be very trivial. Maybe a Lion bug?
