are you using samba to connect? If this is on a windows server you need to use samba. If the connect to server menue use smb://servername/folder. This should allow the server/folder to mount on your desktop. Note the difference in the slashes. So for your instance it should be (i think) smb://snowball123/applications.

Had another coworker send me the following

The path to the folder where your files will be is:
map a drive to \\snowball123\applications <file://\\snowball513\applications>

Course they think I am on a PC but we use Macs. They want me to map a folder to my desktop. I changed some of the info in the path above for security reasons but the format of the path is the same. I tried using “Connect to server” under the GO pull down. Didn’t work. Can someone help or point me in the direction of a Help file?

I told them to just let me know which server this folder is located on and I would just FTP to the site But FTP is not turned on.

Another example of a path name we have trouble with is

file://\\ad.football.xxxx.mil\orgshares\sunshine\BOIM\Shared%Files

Thanks
