OS X Server
Product Overview
Standards-Based File Services
OS X Server makes it easy for you to set up central network storage that’s accessible to
clients throughout your organization. Using native protocols, OS X Server delivers le
services to all the clients on your network: AFP for Mac, SMB/CIFS for PC, NFS for UNIX
and Linux, WebDAV for iPad, and FTP for Internet clients. These exible, cross-platform
le services enable groups to work more eciently when sharing resources, archiving
projects, and backing up important documents.
Flexible File Permissions
OS X Server supports both traditional UNIX le permissions and access control lists
(ACLs), oering administrators an unprecedented level of control over le and folder
permissions. With le system ACLs, any le object can be assigned multiple users and
groups, including groups within groups. Each le object can also be assigned both
allow and deny permissions, as well as a granular set of permissions for administrative
control, read, write, and delete operations.
Spotlight Searching
Designed for workgroups with shared documents, projects, and les, the built-in
Spotlight Server delivers lightning-fast search results for content stored on the server.
Powerful search options such as Boolean logic, quoted phrase searching, category
labels, and range support make it easy to locate content in a ash. Content indexing
occurs on the server—automatically and transparently—keeping search results up-to-
the-moment accurate.
To safeguard your organization’s data, Spotlight searching works with access controls
in OS X Server, so users see only the search results they have permission to view. This
makes it easy for everyone in a group to store les in a single shared location while
protecting condential information from unauthorized access.
