Setting up your computer to “network”

1.	Go under apple to system preferences 2.	Click the folder labeled “sharing” under internet and network 3.	Click Personal File sharing 4.	Now you are able to share your files with others. In order to do this, go to finder, click on teacher/user, then click on public and then drop box. Note, other users should only be able to see what is in your drop box, not the rest of your files. Create a new folder in your drop box. This is where you should place everything that you want to share. 5.	Follow the following steps to view someone else’s public files. Note – your folder will not appear on your own computer. 6.	Go to finder, then click on network. Then click on my network. From this point you should be able to click on a users folder. Press connect and the user's folder will appear on your desktop. From this point you can drag and drop the user's folder onto your desktop (or another folder). It is important to remember to eject the user's folder, as there is a limited number of people that can connect to a user's folders at one time. To eject the folder, simply right click on it and scroll down to eject. Alternatively, you can also drag the folder to the trash. Instead of the trash can, you will see a little eject icon.
