Hi Herb!
This is on Tiger? I just tried what you suggested like this:
if (FSPathMakeRef((const UInt8 *)[filePath
fileSystemRepresentation], &fileRef, &isDirectory) == noErr)
{
CFURLRef theURL = CFURLCreateFromFSRef( kCFAllocatorDefault, &fileRef );
NSURL *fileURL = (NSURL*)theURL;
NSLog(@"[fileURL path] %@", [fileURL path]);
}
and the -path I get back is identical to the [NSString
-fileSystemRepresentation](contains the smbfs server name, not the
name of the actual smb volume).
