This means that we\u2019re going to allow users to connect to the server and have access to folders in which they can store or share files with others.<\/p>\n<p>In this example, we\u2019ll set up a shared folder for a hypothetical group of users at our company \u201cAstounding Photos\u201d. To keep this folder separate from the server\u2019s hard drive, we\u2019ll create it on a second drive called \u201cBackup\u201d. It\u2019s an <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/shop\/external-drives\/owc-ministack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OWC miniStack<\/a> with 1 TB of storage, although a real company would most likely use a drive or RAID array with much more storage to share among multiple users.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll create a folder in the Finder on our Backup drive and call it \u201cPhoto Tools\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Next, we go to the running Server app and select File Sharing from Services in the sidebar. To add a shared folder, we click the now-familiar plus-sign button ( + ) below the Shared Folders section.<\/p>\n<p>The usual Apple Finder \u201cChoose\u201d dialog appears, and from this we\u2019ll select the folder named \u201cPhoto Tools\u201d that\u2019s on our Backup drive. Click the Choose button to denote the location of the folder. You don\u2019t have to limit yourself to a folder \u2014 that \u201cfolder\u201d can actually be a complete storage volume. However, for security it\u2019s best to keep users \u2014 especially those coming in from outside of your network \u2014 limited to one specific folder rather than an entire hard drive or RAID array.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Restricting Access To The Shared Folder<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now it\u2019s time to restrict access to the Photo Tools folder. We only want the admin and our Photographers group (created last week) to have access. To do this, click the Photo Tools shared folder to select it, then click the pencil button below to edit the folder permissions (see screenshot\u00a0below).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_41027\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41027\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-41027\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Screen-Shot-2017-05-19-at-1.18.16-PM-1.png\" alt=\"Setting permissions for the Photo Tools shared folder\" width=\"640\" height=\"478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Screen-Shot-2017-05-19-at-1.18.16-PM-1.png 640w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Screen-Shot-2017-05-19-at-1.18.16-PM-1-161x120.png 161w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Screen-Shot-2017-05-19-at-1.18.16-PM-1-284x212.png 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Screen-Shot-2017-05-19-at-1.18.16-PM-1-190x142.png 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Screen-Shot-2017-05-19-at-1.18.16-PM-1-161x120@2x.png 322w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Screen-Shot-2017-05-19-at-1.18.16-PM-1-284x212@2x.png 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Screen-Shot-2017-05-19-at-1.18.16-PM-1-190x142@2x.png 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-41027\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Setting permissions for the Photo Tools shared folder<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Here we can change the name and location of the folder, set up the type of access (we\u2019ve selected iOS, WebDAV and SMB, and are only allowing encrypted connections). It\u2019s also possible to add guest users, although that\u2019s not a good way to \u201clock down\u201d a server.<\/p>\n<p>Next, we want to give the Photographers group created earlier full read\/write access to the folder. To do this, click the plus button and type \u201cPhotographers\u201d into the field that appears. By default, the Photographers group is provided with read\/write access. If you only want the Photographers to be able to read items but not make any changes to anything in the Photo Tools folder, select Read Only from the picker at the right side.<\/p>\n<p>Once all of the permissions for this folder have been set up, click the OK button to apply those permissions to the folder. Note that it may take a minute or so for this to occur depending on the speed of your server.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enabling File Sharing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The hard work is done. Now it\u2019s time to actually turn on File Sharing and allow users to gain access to this folder. All that\u2019s required is clicking the button on the right side of the File Sharing pane of the Server app.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll be asked if you wish to extend the service to the Internet. In our examples, we\u2019re assuming that we want access from anywhere, so be sure to say \u201cYes\u201d. Note that in this case, since I\u2019m using an AirPort Extreme and allowing the Server app to configure it for services, it will open up the proper TCP\/IP and UDP ports for file sharing to occur.<\/p>\n<p>Once File Sharing is enabled, the \u201cOn\/Off\u201d button turns green, and a small green dot appears to the left of the File Sharing service in the Server app sidebar.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Connecting to the Server from a Mac<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re sharing a folder (Photo Tools) with our Photographers group. That means that if we\u2019re members of that group, we\u2019ll have access from other Macs on the network.<\/p>\n<p>From another Mac on this network, we see the device name \u201cAstounding Photos Server\u201d under Shared in the Finder sidebar. Clicking it will show a blank screen until a user connects to the server. In this case, I\u2019ve added myself to the Photographers group, and I want to gain access to the Photo Tools folder from another Mac (see screenshot below).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_41028\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41028\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-41028\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ServerMac-1.png\" alt=\"The server appears in the Finder sidebar under &quot;Shared&quot;\" width=\"640\" height=\"304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ServerMac-1.png 640w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ServerMac-1-253x120.png 253w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ServerMac-1-284x135.png 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ServerMac-1-190x90.png 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ServerMac-1-253x120@2x.png 506w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ServerMac-1-284x135@2x.png 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/ServerMac-1-190x90@2x.png 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-41028\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>The server appears in the Finder sidebar under &#8220;Shared&#8221;<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Clicking the Connect As button at the top right of the Finder window, I\u2019ll enter my user name and password for the account, then click Connect.

The &#8220;stevensande&#8221; folder is a private folder in which I can store documents, while the public folder is where I can put documents that anyone can have access to.

If permissions are set up as \u201cread only\u201d for a folder, you\u2019ll only be able to read and copy items that are stored in that folder and will not be able to change files nor add new ones. Full \u201cread\/write\u201d access will provide the ability to add, delete and edit files.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Connecting to the Server from an iOS device<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During setup of the shared folder, we checked the box marked \u201ciOS\u201d to allow iOS devices to have full access to the Photo Tools folder.
