-# Filesharing setup
-
-[[File shares|intro]] is accessible in different ways. Via the
-Macintosh-friendly **afp** or the more generic **sftp**.
-
-
-## Macintosh-friendly access (afp)
-
-The easiest method is using the "Apple Filesharing Protocol", **afp**.
-It is integrated in both MacOS X and the older MacOS Classic, and provides
-separate access to each personal and group share.
-
-
- 1. Open filesharing:
- * With MacOS X choose "Connect to server..." from the desktop.
- * With MacOS Classic choose "AppleShare" from "Chooser" in the apple
- menu.
-
- 2. Connect to the server **[[!template id=filehost]]**
-
- 3. Log on using your personal access info, and choose the file shares
- you want bound to your machine.
-
-Alternatively in some cases, e.g. with the MacOS X web-browser Safari,
-you can double-click the address <afp://[[!template id=filehost]]>
-
-When finished using the shares, "eject" it by dropping it in the trash
-can.
-
-
-## General access (sftp)
-
-Windows and Linux unfortunately cannot (in a simple way) use afp, and
-their own similar builtin methods are either too insecure (ftp, nfs) or
-problematic to get to work through the Internet (smb).
-
-The alternative SSH-based **sftp** works on all three platforms with a helper
-application installed:
-
- 1. Use an sftp application:
- * With Windows the Free Software application
- [WinSCP](http://winscp.net/) is recommended.
- * With MacOS X the Free Software application
- [Fugu](http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/fugu/) is recommended.
- * With MacOS X for terminal use you can use the builtin command line
- tool "sftp".
- * With MacOS Classic you can use the shareware application
- [MacSFTP](http://pros.orange.fr/chombier/MacSFTP/SFTP_info.html)
- * With Linux on X11 desktop, both Gnome and KDE have sftp support builtin.
- * With Linux on a text terminal, the application "Midnight Commander" (the
- command "mc") is recommended.
-
- 2. Type in the server address **[[!template id=filehost]]**, and your personal
- access info.
-
-Alternatively your can in some cases double-click the address
-<sftp://[[!template id=filehost]]>
-
-/!\ Sftp provides access to all of your personal account, without any
-userfriendly wrapping. Avoid moving around folders and files you do not
-know what is. For example the "Maildir" folder, containing all of your
-emails.
-
-Sftp only provides access to your personal account. With some adjustment
-on the server you can also be granted access to some types of group
-shares as well. If you can only access personal file shares using sftp, and you
-need access to group shares too, then please tell your technicians to adjust
-your access on the server.
