.. figure:: /_static/images/cifs/cifs-blank.png

:alt: cifs-blank
Enter the credentials as follows:
* **Hostname** - This is the name of your computer.
.. tip:: Sometimes it can be unclear what your Mac's hostname is. One way to establish it for good is to open up Terminal and type `hostname` as below:

In Pre-Ventura versions of MacOS it can be found in the **Sharing** settings mentioned above (step 7).
* Path - This is the *name of the shared folder* you are using and **not** the full directory path.
* **Path** - This is the *name of the shared folder* you are using and **not** the full directory path.
.. tip:: If you copied the share name from the Mac computer and it contained a space, macOS will have replaced the space with the string "%20". Please re-replace `%20` with a space in this `Path` field.
* Username - This is the user on the remote machine that you used to create the shared directory
* Password - This is your user (from above) password
* **Username** - This is the user on the remote machine that you used to create the shared directory.
* **Password** - This is the password to the above user.
