Every now and then I run into a situation where I see that it would be
terrific if I could mount an AppleShare volume using AppleScript. And each
time, I find myself typing something similar to the following into my script
editor:
mount volume "afp://10.1.0.3/volumename/" as user name "username" with
password "password"
mount volume "afp://ServerName/volumename/" as user name "username" with
password "password"
mount volume "volumename" on server "ServerName" as user name "username"
with password "password"
The results?
Error message: "Network file permission error."
Error message: "An error of type -3170 has occurred."
Error message: "Network file permission error."
I am sick and tired of finding out after AppleScript update, after
AppleScript update, after AppleScript update that this STILL does not work!
My god, how long can it take to fix this broken feature?! Is it really too
much to expect, after 3-5 AppleScript releases, that this bug be fixed?
The fact that this is still broken is extremely irritating to those of us
who would benefit most from this functionality. PLEASE Apple, fix this for
once and for all!
