[[FTP]] services can be accessed from supported machines running macOS. This is a guide on how to access the UMIACS FTP service using macOS Finder.

==Opening up macOS Finder==
To open up macOS Finder, click on the macOS Finder icon on the dock at the bottom of your desktop. It should look something like this:
[[Image:Finder_icon.png|thumb|left|300px|alt=The Finder icon is displayed next to the Applications icon on the MacOS Dock.]]
 

==Accessing the public folder==
The owner of the public folder can publish and modify files from a supported machine. External collaborators can only download files published by the owner.

===Access as an owner===
First, bring up the address bar in macOS Finder by pressing Command + Shift + G.
[[Image:OS X Finder Path Empty.png|thumb|left|700px|alt=The address bar is brought up using Command + Shift + G]]
 
In order to access your public folder,
type in the following into the address bar of Finder:
<pre>/fs/ftp/pub/<username> - where <username> should be replaced with your username</pre>
[[Image:OS X FTP Pub Path.png|thumb|left|600px|alt=The path /fs/ftp/pub/<username> is typed into the address bar]]
 

===Access as a collaborator===
External collaborators can access the public folders through the Finder's "Connect to Server" feature. The "Connect to Server" window can be opened by pressing <kbd>Command + K</kbd> on your keyboard.
[[Image:OS X Open Finder Connect.png|thumb|left|600px|alt=The Connect to Server window is opened using Command + K]]
 
Then, enter the following address into the server address bar and then click on the "Connect" button.
<pre>ftp://ftp.umiacs.umd.edu/pub/<username> - where <username> should be replaced with the desired collaborator's username</pre>
[[Image:OS X Finder Connect Address.png|thumb|left|600px|alt=ftp://ftp.umiacs.umd.edu/pub/<username> as the Server Address]]
 
After that you will be prompted with a window where you should choose to connect as a guest and then click "Connect" once more.
[[Image:FTPGuest.png|thumb|left|600px|alt=Guest is highlighted with a red square in the window that says "Enter your name and password for the server 'ftp.umiacs.umd.edu'"]]

'''Note: You must be on a UMIACS network directly or connected to the [[VPN]] in order to print.'''

=System Settings=
To start, open your System Settings from the Dock or Applications folder. Once you have opened it, click '''Printers & Scanners'''.

[[Image:TahoePrint00.png|500px |alt=Screenshot of Printers & Scanners in System Settings showing indicated field]]

=Print & Fax=
On the '''Printers & Scanners''' page, create a new local printer by clicking the '''Add Printer, Scanner, or Fax...''' button that is below the printer list.

=Add Printer=
This will bring up the Add Printer dialog.

'''Note:''' If you just want basic printing, use the steps below. If you would like to enable all the advanced options for the printer, jump over this section to '''"Enabling Advanced Printer Options"'''.

* Jump over to the '''IP''' tab
* Set Protocol to '''Internet Printing Protocol - IPP'''
* Set Address to '''print.umiacs.umd.edu'''
* Set the Queue to printers/queue; in this example for cps432-3208 it would be '''printers/cps432-3208'''. You have to make sure the queue is prefixed by '''printers/'''. For clarification, the queue is typically the printer name.
* Set Name to the name of the printer you are trying to use. This makes it easily Identifiable in your list of printers.
* It will always select '''Generic Postscript Printer'''. If you need to access the more advanced features of a queue/printer or you were '''not able to print by choosing Generic Postscript Printer''', you will need to take extra steps, please see the Advanced section at the bottom of this page.
* Select Add
* You will be asked about enabling duplex. If you know the printer has the option, which is true for most of our printers, go ahead and enable it. Then hit OK. If you're not sure, just leave it disabled. You can always enable it after the queue is added.
You should now be able to print to this printer/queue from any macOS print menu.

'''Please note that this tutorial assumes you already have a network connection established.'''
'''If you have a UMIACS account, you already have access.'''

The UMIACS VPN is accessible through the Ivanti Connect Secure Client. Alternatively, you can establish a connection through a [https://vpn.umiacs.umd.edu/ web browser], but this may fail if you have an outdated version of Ivanti Connect Secure already installed.

'''As of May 10th 2019, MFA Authentication is mandatory.'''
==Prerequisites==
* Device enrolled with [[Duo | UMIACS Duo]]
* macOS 13.x or higher as of the current version of the Ivanti Connect Secure Client

== Connecting through the Ivanti Connect Secure client ==
#'''Download the client:'''
#:[https://obj.umiacs.umd.edu/ivanti-connectsecure/macOS/ps-pulse-mac-22.7r2-b29103-installer.dmg macOS Ivanti Connect Secure Client]
#:''Upon starting the client for the first time it may ask to upgrade the client. This will pull an up-to-date version of the client with the most recent configuration.''
#'''Open the client and click 'Add' (+) under the connection section.'''
#:[[Image:Ivanti client1.png|thumb|left|510px|[macOS] Click the 'Add' (+) button to create a new connection]] 
#'''In the 'Name' field, enter a descriptive name for this vpn Connection.'''
#'''In the 'Server URL' enter 'vpn.umiacs.umd.edu''''
#:[[Image:Ivanticonnection.png|thumb|left|510px|[macOS] Enter the name of the vpn server]] 
#'''Enter your UMIACS credentials and hit connect.'''
#:[[Image:Ivanticlientmac5.png|thumb|left|510px|[macOS] Enter UMIACS Credentials]] 
#'''Complete the [[Network/VPN/MFA | MFA]] Verification Step. For example, if you wish to push a notification to your device, type the word "push" into the secondary password box.
#:[[Image:SecondaryloginmacOS.png|thumb|left|510px|[macOS] Enter a secondary password.]] 
::The Ivanti VPN multi-factor authentication implementation relies on a secondary authentication source to fulfill the [[Network/VPN/MFA | MFA]] requirement. As a result, you will be prompted for credentials twice.

::{|class="wikitable"
!Second Credential Password Value:
! Result
|-
| push
| Send a push verification to your Duo connected device
|-
| phone
| Send a call verification to your Duo connected device.
|-
| <press YubiKey>
| If you have a physical token then you would press the YubiKey for the one time password.
|}

::Please note that registering a YubiKey for use with the VPN requires interaction with UMIACS Tech Staff. Please [[HelpDesk | contact us]] if you would like to register a YubiKey for this purpose.
{{Note|Pro-tip: Select ‘Save Settings’ on the secondary authentication prompt to have Duo automatically use your preferred method.}}

You should now be connected to the UMIACS VPN. You can close the window and the VPN will remain connected.

If you encounter an error, please refer to the "Setup Security Requirement" section bellow.

==Checking VPN Status==
# In the top right hand corner, on your status bar, you should see an S icon in a black circle. If there's a green arrow, that means you are connected! If there is nothing, that means you are not.
#: [[Image:CheckingVPNstatus1.png|thumb|left|610px|[macOS] The top image is connected, the bottom image is not.]] 
# You can click this icon, as well, and it will show you the status of your connection.
#:[[Image:CheckingVPN2.png|thumb|left|610px|[macOS] The Pulse drop down menu.]] 
# If the icon is not in the status bar, you can find Pulse Secure in your Applications folder. There you will see a list of connections.
