Re: Using a Web browser with file: on NFS-mounted files on Mac OS X?

Hi Bill,

Apparently Mozilla wants the volume name in the URL. Try:

file:/Mac OS X/home/janssen/foo.html

(place your volume name for "Mac OS X")
The component paths should be the same as the ones displayed by the Finder in Columns view.

Yes, /home/janssen/foo.html does exist. I have a Terminal open cd'd
to that directory. Automounted home directories seem to work fine
with OS X, by the way.

I'm finding it hard to get any browser (but I'm really interested in
Mozilla) to work with the file: URL form on my Mac OS X box. I'm
newly off a Solaris environment, where I could use URLs like
"file:/home/janssen/foo.html" with impunity, where /home/janssen is an
automounted NFS directory. This doesn't seem to work at all on Mac OS
X.
"file:///home/janssen/foo.html" doesn't work either.

Does "/home/janssen/foo.html" exist?

Default home path in OSX is "/Users/[username]"

An alternative, prettier looking NFS mount path would be
"/Volumes/[mount name]".

HTH,
David
