Full Disk Access on macOS 10.15+¶
By default, applications running on macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and above do not have access to certain folders, such as a user’s Desktop
and Downloads
folders, as well as network shares. Attempting to access these folders pops up a dialog to confirm whether access should be granted.
When connecting to the JetStream server from a remote machine, there is no way to see this dialog and either allow or disallow access. The result is that the request to access the folder will hang until the dialog is dismissed.
Granting Full Disk Access¶
On macOS 10.15 and above, it is recommended that you grant the JetStream server full disk access.
Navigate to jetstream
. If jetstream
is not listed, then you can add it manually by hitting the + button and adding /usr/local/jetstream/bin/jetstream
. Alternately, if you install the Client Application and attempt to navigate to a restricted folder (such as Desktop
), then jetstream
will be automatically listed.
