Mac OS X 10.1 or Later: Services to Which "Connect to Server" May Connect

Connect to Server works with these protocols:

• AppleShare (both AppleTalk and TCP/IP)
• SMB/CIFS (Microsoft Windows File Service)
• WebDAV
• NFS

AppleShare

You can discover or browse AppleShare servers using either the AppleTalk protocol or IP. You can also type the server's URL. Type "afp://" and then either the server's DNS name or IP address.

For other file services, there is no option to browse the network. You must type the server's URL.

WebDAV

To connect to WebDAV servers, type the server's URL in this format:

http://servername.com/path/

NFS

To connect to NFS servers, type the server's URL in this format:

nfs: //servername.com/path/
