My attempts at installing 2.2.3 failed though I’m sure it’s possible. This installs 2.1.2 of Netatalk which is not the latest ( 2.2.3 at time of writing) which may cause issues with using this for Time Machine and with Lion, although I have not experienced any issues on my two Lion machines. You should now be able to access your Raspberry Pi from the Finder side bar and under Network (shift + command + k).ĮDIT: The remainder of this post is now outdated and should not be required once you have installed netatalk. Once this is done installing, you should be able to access your Raspberry Pi using your username and password (defaults are username pi password raspberry, definitely change that) using the Finder on the left sidebar under Shared Click on All. The Steps below describe how to set this up. It will also cover setting it up to be easily accessible without the IP address. In order to do this, I needed to install: sudo apt-get install netatalk. By setting up the netatalk software on your Pi, then opening a new terminal window on your Mac and using the open afp://hostname.local command to connect your Mac to your Pi, your Pi will then appear as a mounted volume on your Mac, almost like it’s a USB drive. This post will guide you through setting this up using Netatalk.

AFP (Apple Filing Protocol) is the protocol Macs use to share files over a network.
