How to open password protected shared (samba) folders (MacOS)

2009-01-10

If, in Finder, you’ll try to open shared folder (in my case, it is shared on windows machine) it just won’t open. To enter your credentials, open Finder, in menu select Go -> Connect to server. And in “Server Address” field enter “sbm://”(without quotes) and IP address or name of computer with shares. For example 

smb://192.168.0.1

Then, press Browse or Connect and computer will ask you for a username and password. Just enter your credentials and Voila! You have just connected to password protected shared folder ;)
