There
is no Chooser in Mac OSX and the way one connects to
a network server is different now. The instructions below tell you how
to connect to Saturn from OSX. If you are familiar with this procedure
under Mac OS 9 you will find this easy to follow since the concept is
still the same and only the interface has been changed.
As of February 12th, 2008 Saturn no longer accepts file sharing connections from Macs (AFP) and from PCs (SMB). Whenever you were using saturn.med.nyu.edu or saturn.skb.med.nyu.edu just use jupiter.med.nyu.edu or jupiter.skb.med.nyu.edu instead. We will try to replace all instances of saturn with jupiter on our help pages, but it may take some time, or we may miss a few. So as a rule of a thumb, whenever connecting to your home directory, lab space, admin space, Public Stuff, Office or Adobe software distributions always use jupiter from now on. Use the same username and password: jupiter is saturn's twin:)

First,
make sure you're in the Finder by either clicking once on the Finder's
icon on your dock or clicking on an empty space on your desktop.
Then go to the Go menu on your menu bar and select
Connect to Server... or just type Command
(Apple) K.
The
server connection window will open as shown on the right. In the
Address field type jupiter.med.nyu.edu or just saturn
and click the Connect button. Of course, you can
use this to connect to Titan as well just like under OS9
by typing titan.skb.med.nyu.edu or just titan,
or any other sever if you its name or IP address. You can also type
the IP address directly if you know it rather than the name.
The
next window you're presented with is the Password window similar
to the one in the Chooser under OS 9.x so it should be familiar
to you. Type in your username and your password and click the Connect
button. Do not use your Saturn username for Titan, both
username and password for Titan are simply Titan (note capitalization!).
After
logging on, you will be presented with several choices, each representing
a volume on the server (a volume is approximately the same thing
as a hard drive): 7 Day Parking (temporary storage automatically
emptied weekly), Public Stuff, DMC, and a user
volume as well as some other volumes you may have been given
access to.
This part should also look famialr to you if you've done this under
mac OS 9.x.
Select
the volume, or Shift-Click or Command-Click several volumes, and
click the OK button. Please note that the checkboxes
on the right are gone. If you want to make volumes mount automatically
when you log in you will need to add them to your login items. Click
here for instructions
The example on the right shows Jupiter login window. If you log
in to Titan you will see different volumes including Park Till
5am, Temporary Presentations, makefujix and makeslides. Refer
to DMC
page to learn how to use the other DMC related directories.
You
can use Park Till 5am volume on Titan for
moving files around the network but keep in mind that is irreversibly
erased every morning at 5am, and there is no backup! You can use
Temporary_Presentations to keep small files overnight but it gets
periodically erased as well.
A
mounted volume will appear directly on your desktop just like under
Mac OS 9. To disconnect drag the volume(s) to the Trash icon on
your dock.
