It is very easy to configure your Mac OS X filesystem to mount your SwissDisk as if it were another hard drive. This is by far the easiest and best method to use your encrypted online storage, as it will allow you to open and save files directly from your mounted SwissDisk.

The following instructions will detail how to install and use a simple utility called SSL Enabler. It allows your Mac OS X filesystem’s native support for WebDAV to be encrypted using a program called sTunnel. You cannot mount your SwissDisk as a drive with out it.

Step 1 – Download, Install & Configure SSL Enabler

Use this link to download SSL Enabler from our website. Once downloaded, and mounted, copy the “SSL Enabler” program to any location on your computer, we suggest the “Applications” folder. When you launch “SSL Enabler” for the first time , it will ask if you want to install the utility (see below), click “Install”.

To install SSL Enabler you will need to enter your Administrator username and password (see below). This is typically the same username and password that you use to log into your computer.

Once authenticated and installed, you will need to configure "SSL Enabler" by doing the following 4 steps. Please refer to the picture below for assistance.

• Click the “Add” button.
• Set the Local Port to: 4443
• Set the Remote Server IP to: disk.swissdisk.com
• Set the Remote Port to: 443

PLEASE NOTE: That "SSL Enabler" program will have to be running and authenticated for the following steps to work. We highly suggest that you add "SSL Enabler" to your startup items list.

Step 2 – Connect to your SwissDisk Account

From the Finder, select the "Connect to Server..." command from within the "Go" menu.

The following pictured window will appear. You will need to enter the following server address where "myusername" will be your SwissDisk username that you selected when you signed up for the service.

• Enter Server Address: http://localhost:4443/myusername
• Click the "Connect" button.

You will now be required that you enter your SwissDisk username and password into the authentication dialog box pictured below. For convenience, we suggest that you check the box that allows your computer to remember the password.

• Check the "Remember password..." box.
• Click the "OK" button.

Afterward, your SwissDisk will appear on the desktop and Finder windows as another volume for you to use. You may use it to open, save, move, rename, and copy files. Depending on your upload and download speed to the Internet, you may find it useful to work with your files and data from you computer's own hard drive and then copy it back to your SwissDisk.
