Using Network-Visible Resources
Mac OS X Server lets you make various resources visible throughout your network, so
users can access them from different computers and various locations.
There are several key network-visible resources.
• Network home directories. A home directory, often referred to as a home folder or
simply home, is a place for each Mac OS X user to keep personal files. Users with
records in a shared Open Directory directory may have home directories that reside
on the network, often on the same server where the user account resides.
A home directory contains several folders—such as Desktop, Documents, and
Public—to help organize information. After logging in, a user accesses his or her
network home directory by clicking the home icon in the Finder.
• Group folders. When you set up a group account for network users, you can
associate a group folder with the group. A group folder is a place for group members
to exchange information electronically. A group folder contains three folders by
default—Documents, Library, and Public; the Public folder contains a Drop Box
folder.
Residing on the server for easy access throughout the network, a group folder can be
shown in the Dock for easy network access wherever a user wants to work on group
activities.
