User Manual

Setting Up AppleShare IP 47
You need to assign an alias if this user will be using mail or FTP services and the user name
contains spaces or special characters. The alias should contain only numbers and unaccented
uppercase and lowercase letters.
The user enters this alias to connect to the Web & File Server. The Mail Server uses this alias
to identify the user’s mail application.
Note: If the user name does not include spaces or special characters, an Internet alias is not
necessary.
9 Click Save.
The new user is created and appears in the Users & Groups List window.
Note: If the Owner Name of the computer includes spaces or special characters, you should
assign yourself an Internet alias now. Double-click the name in the Users & Groups List
window, enter an Internet alias using the guidelines in step 8, then click Save. You can use
your Internet alias to log on to administer any AppleShare IP servers for which you are the
administrator.
10 Complete the rest of this chapter, then go to the Users and Groups section in AppleShare IP
Help to register your remaining users. (You can repeat steps 5–9 above to register all of your
users now, but many options and tips for quickly and efficiently setting up large numbers of
users and groups are described in AppleShare IP Help.)
Setting Up Share Points for the First Time
To make available AppleShare or Windows file sharing or FTP services, you need to specify a
share point and assign it access privileges. A share point is a disk, CD-ROM disc, or folder
that is made available to users on a network.
If you upgraded from AppleShare 3 or 4, or AppleShare IP 5 or 6, previous shared items are
still being shared. Skip ahead to “Setting Up Remote Administration for the First Time” on
page 54.
To create a share point, follow these steps:
1 Open the Web & File Admin program.
Click the Web & File Admin button in the AppleShare IP Manager. Enter your name and
password in the dialog box, then click OK.
The Web & File Server Activity window appears.
Important If you’re planning to turn on FTP or Windows file sharing services, make sure
the names of shared hard disks, folders, or files contain fewer than 13 characters and no
spaces or Option-key characters. If you need to change the names of any share points in the
Finder, do so now.
