![]() Since I frequently use SSH, I’ve added SSH as well. which are all still legit “network shares”. So not it supports NFS, SSHFS, FTP, AFP, etc. Naming convention for Shares, Sessions, etc …ĬonnectMeNow was originally designed to just support SMB (Samba) network shares, but as usual with my silly “little” projects, things went out of control. More about that later, since ConnectMeNow also allows you to create your own directory where a mount should be placed and ConnectMeNow has the option in the menu to reveal the mount in Finder with a single click. When using ConnectMeNow, the easiest way is by going to the “/Volumes/” directory on your Mac where you’ll find all mounted network shares that are active.

Out of the box, under macOS, you’ll need to go through some hoops to “open” such a Network Share.Įither the “server” is listed in Finder on the left, and you’ll have to click it to be confronted with selecting a share-name and entering username and password, OR you have to use “Go” menu in Finder and select “Connect to server” option – which comes with even more questions.īoth options are rather cumbersome, if not slow, if you ask me (Apple: please pay attention here – this is a rather poor user experience!). The Operating System of these “computers” does not need to be relevant, as long as it supports one of the needed protocols.įor example most NAS devices, like a QNAP NAS, run a Linux variant, however can share directories in a Windows originated protocol (SMB), and be accessed by a macOS computer. The “different computer” can be another computer, a NAS ( Network Attached Storage – like from QNAP, Synology, Western Digital, Seagate, etc.), a shared USB stick connected to your router, or even a full size server. Note: this is most certainly not the most complete, technical or most correct description, but for most regular users this will suffice. (under Windows this is often a drive letter) The action of attaching a directory located on a different computer, shared over a network, to your computer as if it was a local disk drive. So, let’s start by explaining what “ mounting network shares” means.
