This method is the easiest way for anyone to send files to and retrieve files from Primary, via their computer. There are only two requirements: One, a Mac workstation that is running Mac OS 8 (or higher) and Two, the workstation must have an Internet connection.

Having met those conditions, follow these steps:

1.) Go under the Apple Menu and open the Chooser. Now click on the Appleshare icon.

 

2.) On the lower right, a Server IP Address button will appear. Click on it.

 


3.) A dialog box will show stating to Enter the Server Address.

 


4.) Enter primarycolor.com for the Irvine office or la.primarycolor.com for the Culver City office and click on the Connect button

 
Culver City
 
Irvine
   


5.) Select the Guest button in the next dialog box and click OK.

 


6.) Depending upon the server address entered earlier in Step 4, highlight either Primary Irvine Public or Primary Culver public and click OK.

 
Culver City
 
Irvine
   

7.) A Public server icon for that location will appear on the computer desktop.

 


Once the Public server icon appears on your desktop, it can be treated the same as a hard drive. You may copy files to our Appleshare server with a simple drag and drop of a file folder onto the Public icon. You can retrieve files in a similar manner.

Before sending files, please label the folder with client name/job and place all files within it.

NOTE: This is a PUBLIC folder. You may want to send material deemed sensitive or private in a different manner.
