About Access Connect
With Access Connect, Windows® computers can provide Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) file sharing and IP-printing to Macintosh® computers. Access Connect is optimized to provide the fastest file and print services available, resolve common Mac/Window file sharing issues, and provide support for Apple technologies such as Network Spotlight full-content search and Time Machine backup.
Access Connect includes the following services:
With Access Connect, Macintosh users can connect to and mount directories on a Windows file server just as native AFP volumes. With the Access Connect Print Server installed, Macintosh users can create desktop printers that deliver print jobs to printers via the server automatically and just as easily as with AppleTalk. Access Connect’s integration into the existing network is seamless–Macintosh users continue using the same tools and applications for accessing servers and printers that they always have.
