I´m want to make a script thats mounts a public folder as guest.

The script below am I using from a client mac to mount a servefolder. But it
won´t work from client to client.

"Client to client" and "public folder" suggest to me that you are using the Sharing preference pane to turn on Personal File Sharing on a client OS machine. Is that correct?


I´m running MacOS 10.3.5 on all clients.

Anyone?


tell application "Finder" try mount volume "afp://fileserver:email@hidden/files" end try end tell

Do not tell Finder to 'mount volume'. 'mount volume' is defined by Standard Additions osax, not the Finder dictionary. It requires none other than the default, implied tell target.


I believe your afp URL is wrong. This (complete) script works for mounting the Public folder shared by Mac OS X 10.3.5 client version:

-- substitute the actual values for ip_address and username
	mount volume "afp://ip_address/username"

What you get is a network volume named 'username' that is rooted at the 'Public' folder in the remote user's home folder.

HTH,
