Project Sharing - Shared Folder Configuration - macOS Server

Interesting that you recommend SMB, I thought it was the other way round,  AFP only

 

We have an mac server running 10.12. and all clients on mac 10.13.5.

• Is it better for us to switch the sharing to SMB?
• Why do you choose "full control" and not " Read/write" ?
• We have problems with project sharing from time to time, would it be better to grant  "Full control" and get less PS conflicts.

 

• Is it better for us to switch the sharing to SMB?
  • If you are having issues with your current setup, yes. However its more important to ensure that ONLY ONE protocol is being used.

 

•  Why do you choose "full control" and not " Read/write" ?
  • This reduces access problems in general and seems the most reliable.

  • Yes.

Thanks for the quick response !

Thanks for this. 

Is it possible to see the setup for Windows Server users?

So, Vectorworks/my workstation does still directly communicate with the shared file?

 

- I wished, Vectorworks would communicate with the server-app which should be able now to manage more then one person committing and refreshing changes simultaneously, right? Or does VW still communicate with the shared file, as well?
