    Resolved AFP share points and APFS (or is it High Sierra?) 🤔

    So, my late 2011 MBP A1278 has 10.6.8 on one physical SSD and 10.13.6 on a second physical SSD (this second SSD has macOS on an APFS container). [I also have a late 2013 iMac running 10.13.6 on its OEM spinner, and that’s on an HFS+ partition (because it’s still a spinner).] When connecting...

    Resolved Networking Woes: Airdrop, AFP, SMB

    I'm posting this only because it seems so baffling and because someone else might run in to the same thing. This morning my wife needed to access an iCloud file from her MBA still on Catalina 10.15.7. The original file was on her M1 iMac sitting right next to the MBA and connected to the same...

    AFP slow after sleep (M1 Max, Monterey)

    After recently getting a M1 Max, I was forced to switch from SMB to AFP due to the notorious Watchdog WindowServer kernel panic issue. AFP seems to be performing fine. Using 10GbE over Thunderbolt to a QNAP NAS, I get over 1GB/s write, and 630MB/s read. After the M1 Max sleeps and wakes up...

    Can’t delete files via programs on NAS

    I'm on a Mac mini M1 with Big Sur and working with 2 different Audio programs - reaper and logic. Both programs have the same problem - I can’t delete files within the program. I need to do this to clean out a project with files. I’ve tried using a a wired network to a Synology NAS and a Qnap...

    Very slow access to SMB and AFP shares

    As much as I love my new M1 Macbook Air, one thing that it has huge issues with is accessing shares on my Qnap server. I've setup both SMB and AFP shares, and they are slow, disconnect all the time, and generally are a huge pain. Pretty much unusable at times. My Windows 10 laptop has zero...

    AFP Server not allowing access after Catalina upgrade

    I am posting this because I could not find this answer anywhere. Did you upgrade to Catalina Server and have issues getting AFP to work? Does it connect and then prompt that you have no access to the files? Well, search no further for your solution. Open System Preferences. Click Security &...

    Catalina won't let me connect to AFP-Fileserver

    Trying to connect with AFP from Catalina (19A536g) to a server running Mojave is not possible. Any ideas? I am using Cmd K to open the connection, entering afp://[server-ip] – than insert name and PW – this results in spinning wheel forever. - Login and PW both double checked - they work on...

    Unable to use AFP and ARD from work Mac.

    I have a enterprise issued MBP that is managed via an MDM profile. Up until just yesterday I was able to connect to a Mac Pro server running at home for personal, non work related use. Because the Wi-Fi network at work blocked AFP/ARD/VNC and other ports, I used a VPN to circumvent that and then...

    os9/late-OSX - no file-sharing via AFP !?

    Inspired by the dicussion about the end of the Dropbox-Client for PPC I tried to establish file-sharing not only for my Tiger/Leopard-PPCs but also for os9. Connectivity with Tiger/Leopard(PPC) and late OSX (ElCap) works fine and is easy to establish. But it took me a while to find out, how...

    AFP on Mojave Super Slow !?

    Is anyone else experiencing slower and slower AFP File Transfers with each newer os x generation to an old PPC 10.5.8 local private File Server on gigabit ethernet? Benchmarks show it can do 110MB/sec locally on the PPC G4. I noticed different os x versions produce different AFP file transfer...

    Different login credentials for smb vs. afp?

    I have a Mac Mini upstairs in my house that I occasionally log into for file sharing (mostly it runs Plex and iTunes for my AppleTV). When I first set up the Mini, I gave the admin account the username HOME_SERVER. I had issues with logging into it remotely so I decided to simplify the admin...

    2 Macs - "best of both worlds" NAS / DAS - AFP vs NFS re permissions

    Our family has 2 iMacs and I want us to be able to use either one of them and have access to all of our files the same way as if they were on a local drive / DAS. So, I bought a QNAP Thunderbolt NAS (perhaps overkill ;-) because that's exactly one of the scenarios they advertise (having a NAS...
