If you want to understand exactly what I want to do (sorry I was not clearer
before as I didn't think it was such a complex question) look at the man for
mount_webdav in the terminal... My issue is creating the file descripter
file (<fd>) with AS... The reason for this is I am integrating a webdav
mount in a larger script and I need to be able to include in the script the
webdav login as I do not want another window to pop over (mainly because the
users this is aimed at would not understand what login info to use unless I
explain it (thus using my AS window with more explanation) every time they
have to use this. Its alos cause I don't want too many windows to confuse
them... And for a webdav mount, the user/pass combo has to be saved normally
to that file descripter, which wipes the file clear of any data once its
authenticated... So it is secure in the end... So I either need to figure
that out, or how to script the webdav Connect to Server window so that its
hidden and the user/pass feed comes from my AS... But count that for each
user the window will have a different name (it changes depending on the
server name that your connecting too)
Any help is appreciated !!!
