okay, I know this is not the ideal forum for this question, but I trust the advice I think I will get here over scrounging the internet and going down many wrong paths...
I need to know how to rename the share that shows on my desktop (on my Mac) . The name of the server show on the left-hand side of my finder windows under Shared Servers once I connect to one. But what shows on my desktop is "pi's home". This is okay when I connect to one, but when I connect to multiple servers, I get many of these. If I click on 'server A' in Finder, it also shows "pi's home". While this is techniclly "correct" behavior, how can I rename these shares to be custom names? This is true of local servers and of some I can access over the internet.
And yes, these are my devices so I do have full control over setting on both ends, I just do not know what to do to change things.
TIA
SOLVED!
I finally figured this out after much trial and error.
The short of it is that I needed to remove the [Homes] listing and replace it with the generic AFP volume listing. So basically:
[Homes]
basedir regex = /home
becomes
[My AFP Volume]
path = /home/pi
This mounts the "home" directory for pi as "My AFP Volume" (or whatever other name I give) whereas the Homes method posts it as "pi's home". Doing this way still allows read/write access and I can change the icon to be something Mac Friendly if I do not want the default icon.
