To map the shared folder, browse to it via finder and drag it to the dock to the right of the dividing line. This will create an alias to the folder.

Thanks.<br />

As for connecting to a Windows Server: I've enable 'mac sharing' on it so the server looks like an Apple server to the Macs. That has some advantages (they can color their folders like they're used to etc).

Hi,<br />
<br />
I've got several Mac computers who are accessing a Windows file server via afp://<br />
<br />
So far, so good.<br />
<br />
The weird thing is that that if (in 'column view' in a Finder window) users delete a file in, let's say, a 4th level subdirectory in that shared folders then the Finder window 'jumps back' (after having deleted that file) to the root level (namely the mapped server). If you then want to delete a second file then you have to click, click, click again down to the 4th level to be in that original sub-folder again. That's quite annoying ... can't that be changed somehow?<br />
<br />
Also: what's the best way to map a Windows share folder in Mac OS 10.6?<br />
<br />
Thanks a lot!<br />
<br />

Weird (Windows) shared folder behavior on Mac?

Apple devices including Macs, iPhones, iPods and iPad support standard wired and wireless networking technologies, but they also utilize custom applications and some special techniques for networking with each other and with non-Apple devices. Apple manufacturers the AirPort line of wireless networking products, and has its own networking protocols, AppleTalk and AFP (Apple Filing Protocol).

Apple Networking

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
