# A network connection icon [[Image:blue_mac_network_icon.png]] is mounted on the desktop.
#*Mac OS 10.6 users: the icon may '''not''' be mounted on the desktop, instead open a new finder window and locate the server from the "Shared" list of servers ([[:File:Macneworkshare2.png|Figure 4]])
#Once you are connected you can drag and drop files between your local hard drive and the network file space.
#*'''ALERT!:''' Never work over the network. Copy files down to your local hard drive before opening them.

#:'''''examples:'''''
#*Orca students = smb://myfiles.evergreen.edu/homes/students
#*Orca programs = smb://myfiles.evergreen.edu/academics/programs/''yourprogramfolder''
