Recording or transferring to folders on a network drive
On a Mac OS system
When recording or transferring to a shared folder that is on a Mac OS system on
the network, the folder to which you want to send the file must be shared using
the Network File System (NFS) file-sharing protocol.
To share a folder using the NFS protocol, the full path to the folder that you want
to share is required. You can obtain the full path to the folder by right-clicking the
folder, and then clicking
Get Info.
¡ Important Shared folders that use a file-sharing protocol other than NFS are
not supported.
1 On the computer that contains the folder that you want to share, make sure
that you're logged in as an administrator and that your user account has a
password. User accounts that do not have a password cannot be used to share
a file using the NFS protocol.
2 In the Finder menu, choose File > New Finder Window.
3 In the Applications folder, click the Utilities folder, and then click
Te r mi na l.
4 In the Te r mi n a l window, type the following command, where “Path” is the
full path to the folder that you want to share:
echo /Path -mapall=$(logname)| sudo tee -a /etc/exports
For example, to share a folder named Files that is located on the Desktop
under Matrox in the Users root directory folder, type the following
command:
echo /Users/Matrox/Desktop/Files -mapall=$(logname)| sudo tee -a
/etc/exports
For added security, you can restrict write access to the folder to one device
by adding the IP address of the Monarch device that you want to use to write
to the folder. For example, if the IP address of the Monarch device is
169.254.1.11, type the following command:
echo /Users/Matrox/Desktop/Files 169.254.1.11 -mapall=$(logname)| sudo
tee -a /etc/exports
5 Press ENTER.
6 Type your user account password, and then press ENTER.
7 Type the following command:
sudo nfsd restart
8 Press ENTER.
9 Close the Ter m i n a l window.
The folder is now a shared folder.
