File Sharing


Open Sharing preferences
  1. Log in with an administrator user account. To enable and configure file sharing you need to know the name and password of an administrator account on your Mac.
  2. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
  3. From the View menu, choose Sharing.
  4. From the Service list, select File Sharing.
Select folders to share
Below the Shared Folders list, click the Add (+) button. Find the folder you want to share. To select multiple folders, press and hold the Shift key while selecting folders with the mouse.

In the example below, the folders named "Patel Ravi's Public Folder" and "Shared" (/Users/Shared) have been selected for sharing.
Shared folders, sharing system preferences
Repeat this process for all folders you wish to share.
Note: You can also directly select a folder in the Finder to share. Select the folder, choose Get Info from the Filemenu, and enable "Shared Folder" to share it (or deselect "Shared Folder" to stop sharing the folder).
Get Info window
Tip: When you open a shared folder, a "Shared Folder" banner appears in its Finder window, as well as any subfolder windows.

Configuring Firewall


Every Mac ships with a built-in firewall - a service that can be configured to disallow information from entering your Mac. But what is a firewall, and why do you need to use it on your Mac?

Firewall Crash Course

Every time you request information from the Internet, such as a web page or email message, your Mac sends data packets to request the information. Servers receive the packets, and then send other packets back to your Mac. This all happens in a matter of seconds. Once your Mac has reassembled the packets, you'll see something, like an email message or web page.
A firewall can help prevent bad packets from entering your Mac. Hackers love to run automated applications that can scan thousands of computers (including your Mac) for open ports that can be exploited. To ensure that random individuals do not gain unauthorized access to your Mac, you should enable Mac OS X's built-in firewall. It will close your Mac's open ports and disallow random network scans.

Turning on and Configuring the Mac OS X Firewall

Here's how to turn on and configure your Mac's built-in firewall:
  1. From the Apple menu, select System Preferences. The window shown below appears.
  2. Select Security & Privacy.
  3. Click the Firewall tab.
  4. Click the lock icon and authenticate with your administrator username and password. The window shown below appears.
  5. Click Start. The firewall turns on - you'll know it's enabled when you see the green light and the Firewall: On message, as shown below.
  6. Click Advanced. The window shown below appears.
  7. Select the Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections checkbox. This allows the applications on your Mac to communicate with the outside world.
  8. Select the Enable stealth mode checkbox. This prevents your Mac from responding to port scans and ping requests.
  9. Click OK to close the Advanced settings.
  10. Close System Preferences. Your Mac is now protected by the built-in firewall!
