Instructions for macOS

You can mount your Indigo storage space to your Mac for easy file access and transfer.

  1. Before you begin, make sure you are connected to the Clemson Network.

    caution

    This means that you must either be on-campus or connected to CUVPN.

  2. Open the Finder from the Dock.

  5. In the Server Address field, enter the address below. Press the Connect button when you are finished.

     smb://eth.indigo.rcd.clemson.edu/YOUR-PROJECT-SHARE
    Note

    You must replace YOUR-PROJECT-SHARE with the share name for your space. This will be provided by our storage team when you request SMB access.

    Reminder

    All access methods are disabled by default. SMB access to your space is only enabled if the owner has requested SMB access.

  6. You may see a dialog box asking if you would like to connect to eth.indigo.rcd.clemson.edu. If so, press Connect.

      note

      Enter just your username, not your email address (do not include the @ symbol).

    3. In the Password field, enter your Clemson password.

    4. If you are not using a shared computer and you would like for this computer to remember your Clemson credentials, you may select the Remember this password in my keychain checkbox.

    5. Press the Connect button.

  8. The storage should now be visible in the sidebar of the Finder.
