With Applescript Vr. 1.7 and above one can use the syntax: set
remote_Finder to application "Finder" of machine
"eppc://username:email@hidden" to access and control a remote
Mac. No user intervention is required with regards to user name and
password dialog boxes.
Unfortunately, I'm forced to run this script using Mac OS 9.04 which cannot
run Applescript 1.7. (as far as I know.) I'm stuck using Applescript 1.4
which doesn't allow you to embed the username and password. The syntax for
Vr 1.4 needs to look like this: set remote_Finder to application "Finder"
of machine "eppc://XXX.XXX.XXX.XX". Once that line of code is run for the
first time, the user is presented with a dialog box asking for the username
and password for the remote machine. This is my problem.
I've tried: set remote_Finder to application "Finder" of machine
"RemoteMachine" of zone "Zone1" with user name "username" with password
"password", but it won't compile. If I remove the "with user name....." it
works fine.
Is there a way to control a remote Mac, using Applescript, from a OS 9.04
machine without the login dialog box appearing?
Thanks,
Gary Brown
