Hello.
I'm trying to access a shared folder on my MacPro on my MBPr.I have enabled file sharing on the MacPro and both AFP and SMB are enabled.
setup:
1. MacPro running Mavericks (the one containing the shared folder)
2. MBPr running Mavericks (trying to connect from this)
3. both Macs are connected to the local network
Here's the link to the Apple support site for file sharing.
Here's a screenshot of the file sharing setup on the MacPro. The only thing I changed is to allow everyone to have read/write. This was done because the original setting of "read only" wasn't working.
Anyway, I tried connecting to the shared folder using AFP. I've tried using afp://ip-address-here and afp://ip-address-here/share-name. I got a prompt to login via registered user or Apple ID. I selected registered user and entered the details for the chiyo-chan user. It won't connect no matter what I do. This user is the only custom user present in the OS.
I tried connecting this time via SMB (e.g. smb://ip-address-here) and used the same user and it went through ok.
So how do I connect to a shared folder via AFP?
Thanks for the help
