| ====== MacOS and Finder ====== | ====== Finder ====== |
| With Finder in MacOS you can get access to the RDMS via WebDAV. {{ :rdms:access:macos-finder.jpg.png?|}} | |
| |
| The server address is “webdav.data.rug.nl" | Finder is the default file manager under Mac. It's functionality allows to not only access the local file system, but also to access remote files using different protocols. For this section, we will configure Finder using the WebDAV interface of the RDMS which allows for the data transfer in Mac without using additional third-party software. |
| |
| To connect your Mac to the RDMS you should now see a credentials dialog. | In order for Finder to access the RDMS, you need to provide our WebDAV address: ''https://webdav.data.rug.nl''. |
| * The “Connect as” setting should be set to “Registered user”. | |
| * Your user name is your UG mail address. | |
| * Tick the checkbox “Remember this password in my keychain”. | |
| |
| You should now have a RDMS Network Disk location in Finder. | The more detailed configuration of Finder and RDMS WebDAV is listed below: |
| | |
| | - Click on your Desktop to get Finder's attention. |
| | - Press **Command-Key + K** to open the 'Go to Server' dialog (see note below for an alternative way to access this dialog). |
| | - Specify the WebDAV address ''https://webdav.data.rug.nl'' and confirm by pressing the ''Connect'' button.\\ {{ :rdms:access:macos_finder1.png?direct&400 |}} \\ |
| | - A new window will open. Select 'Registered User' and specify your RDMS user name (UG mail in lowercase) and password. Additionally also select the option to save your RDMS password for later re-use. Then again, click the ''Connect'' button \\ {{ :rdms:access:macos_finder2.png?direct&400 |}} \\ |
| | - The RDMS WebDAV access will appear in Finder and data transfer is now possible (for example via drag & drop of files/folders).\\ {{ :rdms:access:macos_finder3.png?direct&600 |}} \\ |
| | |
| | **Notes:**\\ |
| | |
| | * The 'Go to Server' dialog can be also accessed by right-clicking on the Finder logo in the Mac Dock.\\ {{ :rdms:access:finder_webdav4.png?direct&700 |}} \\ |
| | * If you experience connection problems be sure that the specified address and username/password are correct. Also check that you are **in the UG network** and use the [[https://iris.service.rug.nl/tas/public/ssp/content/detail/knowledgeitem?unid=dc03cee332c44f3e989baa67c93c0539|UG VPN]] if trying to access the RDMS remotely! |
