Network shares

Peach Commander can connect to file servers on your local network or company network — SMB (Windows/Samba) and AFP shares — and show their contents in a panel just like a folder on your own Mac. Once a share is connected, you can browse, copy, move, rename, and open files across it exactly as you would locally, including copying between the share and your other panel.

Connect to a server

1. Click the panel you want to connect (the connected share opens in the active panel).
2. Press Cmd+K, or choose Net > Network Neighborhood > Mount Network Share….
3. In the Connect to Server dialog, type the server address. You can enter:
4. an SMB address, for example smb://fileserver/projects
5. an AFP address, for example afp://fileserver/projects
6. a Windows-style path, for example \\fileserver\projects
7. a plain server/share name
8. Click Connect (or press Return). If the server needs a name and password, macOS shows its standard sign-in prompt — enter your credentials there.
9. When the share is ready, the active panel opens it automatically. Browse and work with it like any other folder.

Disconnect

A connected share appears as a mounted volume on your Mac. To disconnect it, eject it the usual macOS way — for example from the Finder sidebar, or from the drive list in Peach Commander.

Notes

• Authentication (user name, password, and any "remember this in my keychain" choice) is handled by the standard macOS sign-in sheet, so saved server passwords work the same as they do in the Finder.
• If you enter an address that can't be understood, Peach Commander asks you to provide an SMB/AFP address, a Windows-style path, or a server/share name, and nothing is mounted.
• After you confirm, connecting can take a moment while macOS mounts the share; the panel switches to it as soon as it becomes available.
• This connects to shared drives on a network. To reach an FTP, FTPS, or SFTP server instead, see the related topic below.
