- After you have entered the server address press the Connect button. This will prompt you to login using your UW-Platteville username and password. You may also be prompted to confirm that you would like to connect.
- The volume will be mounted and show up as an icon on your desktop and on the sidebar in finder.
To dismount a volume, drag the volume icon to the Trash icon in the Dock, or highlight the volume icon and press Command-E.
