Is there a way to present a Choose File/Folder dialog to a drive on
a remote machine?
I'd like to provide the user a way to "drill down" to select the path...
You can get the name of every item in a folder on remote Mac, then feed that list of strings into the choose from list scripting addition, something like:
tell application "Finder" in machine "Remote Mac"
set fileList to name of every item in disk "Macintosh HD"
end tell
choose from list fileList
I did something similar to create "Remote Finder" for managing our client's Macs remotely. There's a very old version and description at:
