Rich,

One of the commands in the standard additions (look in the Script Editor menu "File -- open file -- "standard additions") is "mount volume." This is probably what you want.

Here are two simple examples.

Example 1: (which I use to access a volume on my LAN)

mount volume "powermac" on server "powermac" as user name "roy" with password "xxx"

Note that here, the password is sent over the network in an unencrypted form.

Example 2: (using the Apple File Protocol (afp) over a TCP/IP network)

mount volume "afp://192.34.70.30:Hal"

Note here that you will be prompted for a username and a password.

There are other cool ways to do it using the Unix "mount" command in combination with AppleScript's "do shell script."

Hope this works for you.

Roy Whelden
