    examples:
  1. Click Connect
  2. Log in with your Evergreen account.
  3. Select the folder you'd like to connect to (e.g. the first letter of your last name, or the name of your program or group).

    Shared network servers
  5. A network connection icon 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
  6. Once you've connected you can drag and drop files between your local hard drive on the network file space.
    • Alert: Never work over the network. Copy files down to your local hard drive before opening them.
  7. To disconnect, drag the network icon to the trash/disconnect icon on the doc.


Note: Your firewall software might block the connection to the remote fileshare. If you can't connect to the filespace and have double-checked the instructions, you might need to add a firewall exemption for the fileshare.

Note: If you still can not connect you might also try following the instructions here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1629 .
