When trying to compile this
tell app "Finder" of machine "eppc://192.168.0.102" to beep
I get an error sheet (in Script Editor) saying "Remote access isn't
allowed".
(That's after the dialog has come up that asks for a
username/passphrase for
the remote machine.)
The remote Mac's Sharing prefs has "Remote Apple Events" on. I can
access the
machne over afp, ssh, and http just fine. Both machines are running
10.3.4.
It seems I found the culprit. For some reason the eppc scheme chokes
when the
passphrase contains a hash ("#") character. Tsssk...
Tested by creating a new admin account with the exact same passphrase
except
for the hash character.
- Can anyone reproduce this on their machine?
- Can anyone think of a good reason why a hash would choke eppc?
Btw, escaping the hash through backslashes doesn't provide the
workaround I
hoped for.
You probably need to URL-encode the password since it is being passed
by way of a URL:
<

Replace the hash (#) character with # and see if it works. For
example, if the password is "my#pass" change it to "my#pass".
This is not unique to the eppc scheme, it will probably occur with all
URLs. It most likely has nothing directly to do with Apple or
AppleScript.
