smb access from mac

  • Hi, I'm, Czarlji and i'm a omv user since few months and basically works flawlessly since then.
    use as a file server and plex media and is works nicely.
    recently i try to set up smb/cifs to get access from my imac and problems begins.
    i set up shares, add a user permissions to read/write to those shares ,start smb and thats all.
    i dont know why i have two entries on shared panel(screen1), trying to connect to first one(vault) connection is failed every time
    and connecting to the second one (vault-SMB/CIFS) mount on my desktop every folder (which i set up as a share) as a single mount.
    My question is:
    how to automatically mount those shares as a one folder in finder?
    im using mac os sierra and is connected to vpn,
    thx.

  • Why are you not using openmediavault-netatalk 3.2.10?


    I'm on Mac High-Seirra and use the Open Media Vault plugin for Apple Shares - no issues. I upload all my video files to a mounted share through Apple Filing (NetaTalk) and it is selected as my Share /Movies for Plex Media server.


    I did not go with SMB because I wanted the Share to simply appear in my finder and not have to use Go - Connect to Server - Server Address : smb://0.0.0.0 (Your Servers IP)

    thx

  • In finder you select "Go" and drop down to "Connect to Server".


    I can tell you manual instructions, i.e. afp://000.000.000.000, but you should be able to click "Browse" button and see the server. If not... there is a problem.


    1. Make sure your connected to the same network as your server... this is not an internet service.


    2. Relaunch your Finder.


    Those are the easiest and first two things to check. On OS High-Sierra I often need to "alt command esc" and Relaunch Finder. It's a bit quirky sometimes.


    If it asks for your Username and Password it is asking for a user you created with OMV WebUI or via SSH and the adduser command. As long as the group "user" has read and write access to the share you should be good.


    Go to "Shared Folders" click the share and select "Privileges". Make sure that user has read and write permissions.


    Let me know how you make out.

  • hi,thx,i manage to connect to one of the files,but:
    i see all the time on finder my server but when i try to connect via that its not work,
    manage to connect via go to-servers-afp...,but when i put login details new window pop out
    asking for password for the file but i cannot write anything on that,i manage to copy/paste password and log in to file.
    but finder mount a drive on desktop instead looks like in you pic in finder.

  • That's permissions on your drive. You're seeing an error from your Mac that says something like "User attempting to make changes in Finder..." The drive permissions are off.


    I can't get into specifics... in the middle of a server crash from Bios update... here's a free hint, if it aint broke, don't fix it.


    You can work around this by chmod 777 the drive or folder and it will work.
