Most of the materials you wish to access can be reached as a Guest. In the third step, you choose the volumes on the server that you wish to access. After closing the Chooser, the selected volumes appear as new icons on your desktop, just as addtional hard disks would. References to materials on file servers are given in this guide. There are several versions of AppleShare client software.
Later versions are also available as separate packages.
If you do this, consider both copyright and security issues before doing it. Make sure that guest users cannot delete or alter important files and that materials licensed only to you are not copyable.
