Creating Alias to server, not share on OS X
Posted: 01 Mar 2015 17:36
Hey guys, I'm a newbie to NAS4Free. I have been using it for about two months now and it has been working great.
I searched the forums and couldn't find the answer to my question. Hope someone can help.
I have 9.3.0.2 r.1349 running with four shares with Samba (Home, Music, Movies, Photos). In Windows everything works great, I have a shortcut on my desktop for my server and when I open that, Explorer brings up a window with all four shares. Essentially I want to do the same thing on my OS X 10.9 and 10.10 computers, however when I go to Finder->Connect to server->NAS4Free it now brings up a new dialog box and says "Please select the volumes you want to mount on "NAS4Free":" I have to mount each share individually... what a pain in the butt.
This works fine, but I would really like to have an Alias or something on my desktop or dock that I can open and then have all of the shares in there so that I don't have to have four different shares on my desktop. I am not familiar enough with OS X to know what settings need to be changed, these are my users computers, I use windows and I have that part covered, for now at least.
Any help? Need more info?
Thanks a lot folks!
