Mounting a volume with non standard characters in the name

Mounting a volume with non standard characters in the name


  • Subject: Mounting a volume with non standard characters in the name
  • From: Guy Parker <email@hidden>

I need to automate mounting a volume where the volume name contains a "!".

No matter what syntax I try or url-type encoding I experiment with (e.g.
!) I get the same result: "Network File Permission" error. As soon as I
remove the "!" from the volume name everything works as expected:

mount volume "afp://username:password@server-url/volume!name/" fails
mount volume "afp://username:password@server-url/volumename/" works

It would be nice to know what's causing the problem or if I can encode the
"!" somehow to make this work before I have to try to get the volume name
changed on multiple systems out of my direct control.

My gut feeling is that the "!" is being interpreted as something else since
this would be the error returned if the volume name did not exist.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Guy
