Preface
There are two ways how you can connect your Mac with just:store:
- Connecting to a just:store system directly using the macOS Finder.
- Using our just:mount application to streamline the sharepoint management process.
The following instructions presume that the just:store system has been set up properly and that you have the Protocol and the IP Address of the just:store system you want to connect to. |
Establishing a Connection with the macOS Finder
Please note that this method ejects all mounted sharepoints upon a restart of your Mac. |
- Make sure Finder is the active app.
- Click on the Go menu.
- Select the Connect to Server... command (shortcut command + K).
- The Connect to Server window appears.
Enter the Protocol of your choice (afp, smb, nfs), followed by the IP Address of the just:store system you want to connect to. If you don't know the Protocol or the IP Address of the just:store system please consult your system administrator.
Please note that when using NFS the path is in following notation: nfs://[IP]/media/RAID[NR]/[Share] - [IP] → IP Address of the just:store system.
- [NR] → RAID number.
- [Share] → Name of the sharepoint.
|
Accept the dialog by clicking the Connect button.
Select the desired sharepoint and press the OK button. The sharepoint will be displayed in the sidebar of any Finder window.
Establishing a Connection with the just:mount Application
- Follow the installation procedure of just:mount as described in → just:store v3.0 Getting Started.
- Open Just Mount.
- Press the Add button.
- Enter the SMB or AFP connection credentials. Leave Username and Password blank if you want to use guest. Press the Add button afterwards.
- Select the desired Connection in the Connections list and press the Connect button.
- The sharepoints will be displayed in the Sharepoints list. Change the Protocol if desired and then use the respective Mount buttons to mount/unmount the sharepoint(s).
