| == Connecting to Ike, the Beauchamp Lab Server ==
| |
| From your Mac desktop, type
| |
| Apple-K
| |
| or click on Go/Connect to Server.
| |
| The server address is
| |
| 129.106.236.182
| |
| If you have connected before, the server address will already be in the Favorite Servers list and you will not need to type it in.
| |
| If not, type in this IP address into the "Server Address:" field. Hit the "+" button to the right of the "Server Address" field to save this address.
| |
|
| |
|
| Select this address (129.106.236.182) from the "Favorite Servers" list below the address field using the mouse and click "Connect".
| |
|
| |
| A window will pop-up asking for a username and password. Type your username and password.
| |
|
| |
| Typically, the username is your first initial + lastname e.g. mbeauchamp. If you have an account on bidwell, the existing server, it should be the same username.
| |
| If this is your first time connecting, type your username and then click the gear icon in the lower left hand corner of the window and select "Change Password". For Old Password, type in your username. For New Password, type in your favorite password (for convenience, you may want to make it the same password as on bidwell, the old server; this password will never expire). Click the "Change Password" button.
| |
| At the login window, type in the new password, select the "Remember this password" check-box, click "Connect".
| |
|
| |
| A list of volumes to mount should appear.
| |
| Select the desired Volumes that you wish to use (Use Shift+Click to select more than one).
| |
| They should appear on your desktop as small blue icons, and in your /Volumes directory.
| |
|
| |
| Sometimes a volume will be mounted twice, in which case it will be given an extension such as
| |
| /Volumes/data1-1
| |
| This can mess up scripts that look for files in certain places, such as /Volumes/data1.
| |
| If this happens, log out of the Mac and then log back in without connecting to the server. Change to the volumes directory
| |
| cd /Volumes
| |
| ls
| |
| You will see a "ghost" of the previously mounted directory
| |
| data1
| |
| Change the name to something else. e.g.
| |
| mv data1 data1junk
| |
| (you may have to be a superuser to do this).
| |
| Then log back out, log back in, and connect to the server as usual.
| |

Connecting automatically
To avoid having to follow the above steps every time, your Mac can be configured to connect automatically at start-up.
Click on Apple (in top left of Finder window)/System Preferences/Accounts.
Click the lock and type in your username and password.
Click on Login Items.
First, see if any Volumes from the old server are in the Login Items list.
If they are, delete them by clicking and hitting the "-" button.
Then, drag the Volumes you wish to automount from the desktop to the "Login Items" list.
If you don't want the icon to appear on your desktop, click the "Hide" checkbox. It will still be mounted.
