I know how to mount an AFP share from an AppleScript:

mount volume "afp://server1/" as user "joe" with password "toe"

I know how to mount an SMB share at the command line

(after setting up a .nsmbrc file in ~user...)
mkdir foo
mount_smbfs -N //USER@SERVER/SHARE ./foo


I don't know how to mount an SMB share from AppleScript.

Try:

tell application "Finder"
activate
make new Finder window at front
open location "smb://Domain;username:password@computername/sharename/"
end tell

Also, try a variation on this script where you omit the password and maybe the username. I think you might be prompted if you do.

For more info, goto the apple support page and do and advanced search of the knowledgebase for SMB, with keyword kmosX. The first hit should be an article entitled "Mac OS X 10.1: How to Connect to an SMB Volume (Microsoft Windows)" (Article ID: 106471).

For a very detailed explanation of the syntax of the smb url in my script, see:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-crhertel-smb-url-02.txt


I don't know how to mount an AFP share from the command line!

Any guesses on the last two?

Rob
