Sharing Linux Box with Mac

mantonr · 07-20-2008, 02:50 PM

Got a linux box running Gentoo and I want to be able to access its contents on my mac finder.

How do I get the linux box to appear in finder like other computers on my network?

Macs use the AFP protocol for file sharing. This is probably a good starting place:

OS X can also access shares over CIFS or NFS. In Finder, do  + K and type in the IP of your Linux machine, prefaced by either nfs:// or cifs://

cifs://myuser@10.0.0.2/share

^^^ that assumes your Linux box is 10.0.0.2, your account is 'myuser', and your share is 'share'.
