Editing Apple Filing Protocol (section)

==The macOS client==
In Mac OS X Tiger, users can connect to AFP servers by browsing for them in the [[Computer network|Network]] globe or entering an AFP [[Uniform Resource Locator]] (URL) into the Connect to Server dialog. In Mac OS X Leopard and later releases, AFP shares are displayed in the Finder sidebar. AFP URLs take the form: ''afp://{{angbr|server}}/{{angbr|share}}'', where {{angbr|server}} is the server's [[IP address]], [[Domain Name System]] (DNS) name, or [[Bonjour (software)|Bonjour]] name, and {{angbr|share}} is the name of the share point.  In Snow Leopard and later, a URL of the form ''afp://{{angbr|server}}/{{angbr|share}}/{{angbr|path}}'' can be used to mount a subdirectory underneath a share point.

macOS also offers Personal File Sharing, a "light" implementation of the current version of AFP. In Mac OS X 10.4, users can share the contents of their Public folders by checking Personal File Sharing in the Sharing section of System Preferences.

AFP URLs for AppleTalk servers took the form: ''afp://at/{{angbr|AppleTalk name}}:{{angbr|AppleTalk zone}}''. For networks without AppleTalk zones, an [[asterisk]] (*) would be substituted for the zone name.
