+## A2SERVER
+
+You probably want to be able to get stuff on and off of A2SERVER, so that
+means connecting to it from other computers.
+
+You can browse your network and you should see either \"raspberrypi\" or
+\"a2server\" as a server you can connect to. You can log in as Guest if asked.
+
+On Mac OS X, it should appear under Shared in the sidebar of a Finder window,
+or under \"Network\" from the \"Go\" menu of the Finder.
+
+On Windows, it should appear under Network.
+
+On Mac OS 7 through 9, open Chooser from the Apple menu and click on
+AppleShare.
+
+(If you can\'t browse to the server on your network, you may need to [log in
+to A2SERVER](a2server_commands.md) to update, and if that doesn\'t work, to
+find its IP address. On Mac OS X, enter the IP address under \"Connect To
+Server...\" from the Go menu of the Finder; on Windows, type the IP address
+following \\\\ in an Explorer window.)
+
+You will see two or three shared volumes: A2FILES, GSFILES, and, if you have
+A2CLOUD installed, ADTDISKS. Avoid the A2FILES volume except for copying
+things off of it. If you do want to put stuff on it, be careful to only use
+ProDOS-compliant filenames (all caps, 15 characters max, starts with a letter,
+and only contains letters/numbers/periods). Otherwise, you\'ll get unexpected
+behavior like invisible files.
+
+Unix-type computers can also use `scp` to copy files to and from A2SERVER;
+Windows computers can also do so in the command window by using `pscp` in
+[PuTTY][1]. The shared volumes are within /media/A2SHARED.
+
+If you need to set the ProDOS file type of a file you have copied to A2SERVER,
+[log in to A2SERVER](a2server_commands.md) and use `afptype`.
