## afpfs-ng for macOS / OS X
|
|
|
|
### Description
|
|
|
|
macOS / OS X ships with the ability to mount volumes via AFP. However, OS X 10.6 and newer are not capable of AFP version 2.x or older which is needed to network with Classic MacOS (7.6 to 9.2 via IP).
|
|
|
|
This version of afpfs-ng is based on Simon Vetter's version. It has fixes 'hacked in' to make it work with Fuse for macOS / OSXFUSE on macOS / OS X. As a consequence, it does not work with Fuse for Linux.
|
|
|
|
It is of use for you if you emulate Classic MacOS, e.g. using SheepShaver or QEMU. And of course if you own an old Macintosh you want to exchange files with.
|
|
|
|
macOS / OS X already makes use of the 'mount_afp' command. Thus in this version of afpfs-ng that command has been changed to 'mount_afp2' (to indicate it is for use with AFP v. 2.x).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Prerequesites
|
|
|
|
Download and install Fuse for macOS from https://osxfuse.github.io/ (v. 3.7.1 as of writing this). The Fuse compatibility layer is NOT required.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
Either use the .pkg installer at https://github.com/mabam/afpfs-ng-OSX/releases or compile yourself as follows:
|
|
|
|
AFP up to v. 2.x does not offer password encryption which is why we simply disable it rather than installing gcrypt on macOS / OS X first:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./configure --disable-gcrypt --enable-fuse
|
|
```
|
|
```bash
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Also, I couldn't figure how to make the fuse components compile automatically on macOS / OS X. This is how to do that manually:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd fuse
|
|
```
|
|
```bash
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Usage, credits and license
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to load Fuse for macOS first:
|
|
```bash
|
|
/Library/Filesystems/osxfuse.fs/Contents/Resources/load_osxfuse
|
|
```
|
|
See README_old.md for examples on commands. But mind the change to 'mount_afp2'.
|
|
|
|
There you can also find information on the license and credits.
|
|
|
|
Credits for this macOS / OS X version goes to 'adespoton' for his guidance.
