now easier than ever to share folders, exchange files and access documents on a Mac, iPad or PC. SMB2 — the new, super-fast protocol for sharing files in OS X Server — increases security and improves Windows compatibility. OS X Server supports both UNIX permissions and access control lists, so you have more control over who shares what. With file-sharing connection monitoring, you can see who’s accessing your server, who’s connected and for how long. And intelligent Spotlight searching helps users find content on the server quickly and easily.
