Re: [Fed-Talk] Mapping a drive to a server folder?

This should display another window called the SMB/CIFS File System Authentication window and it will prompt you for Workgoup/Domain, Username, and Password. If you don't see this, try to get the IP address of the server and try it -- example:

I've written a GUI application that does all this for me. It mounts multiple shares and if I set the option, will watch the mount and if the server goes down, it will watch for the server and when it comes back online, will remount the share. It works for AFP mounts and SMB Workgroup mounts -- I need to add the piece to make it work with DOMAIN systems. If you need/want it, go to my .mac public folder ( username dalton_hamilton ) and the application is called MountWatcher.

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
