Mac OS X doesn't use drive letters like a Windows system, instead it uses something called 'mount points'. These are essentially directories in the file system that are used to.
Mac OS X is Apple's operatingsystem for its line of Macintosh computers. Its interface, known asAqua, is built on a Unix foundation. Although ithas much of the look and feel of the former Mac OS,features such as preemptive multitasking, symmetric multiprocessing,multithreading, and protected memory give Mac OS X improved stabilityand performance. For the current version's system requirements, seeApple's Mac OS XTechnical Specifications.
Mac OS X doesn't use drive letters like a Windows system, instead it uses something called 'mount points'. These are essentially directories in the file system that are used to 'mount' the shared network drive. On your Mac, choose Apple menu System Preferences, then click Sharing. Open Sharing preferences for me. Select the File Sharing checkbox. To select a specific folder to share, click the Add button at the bottom of the Shared Folders list, locate the folder, select it, then click Add. The Public folder of each user with an account on your Mac is shared automatically. The Macintosh Secure File Server for Mac OS X (MSFSX) is a set of client software that allows a Macintosh computer running OS X to use AFS file space by connecting to a translator server machine. Thanks for the info. I actually played around with the 'Web Sharing' feature in Mac OS X and while awesome that it's built in, it wasn't as convenient for me for the following reasons: - Can't specify port to be used (easily anyways with the edit of a simple text box) - No address bar when you click on a file to quickly get the entire URL to.
Currently, four Mac OS X-related products are available:
Mac OS X: This is the version most Macintoshowners should use. It is a consumer operating system designed for useon your personal computer. For more information, see Apple's Mac OS X page and Developer page forMac OS X.
Mac Os X Server 1.0
Mac OS X Server: This is Apple's server operatingsystem. It is similar to the consumer release of Mac OS X, but alsoincludes a suite of network services, such as a print server, filesharing, QuickTime streaming, NetBoot, and advanced webhosting. For more information, see Apple's Mac OS X Server page.
Mac os emulator for windows. iOS: Based on Mac OS X, versions of iOS run on theiPhone, the iPod touch, and the iPad. The iOS was designed forhandheld devices, and is much more tightly controlled than otherversions of Mac OS X. Despite their shared origins, applications(apps) developed for iOS are not compatible with Mac OS X, and viceversa.
Mac Os Server Version
Darwin:Darwin is the Unix-likefoundation upon which Mac OS X is based. Its code is opensource, and it is available as a stand-alone operatingsystem. Although Darwin will run many Unix applications, including theX Window System, it does not have the Mac OS X interfaceand thus will not run Mac OS X applications. For more information, seeApple's Developer Open Sourcepage.
