Hi folks,
A question prompted by Quinn's recent reply regarding Finder's network
browse. Don't know why it never occurred to me to look in /Network
before, but there you go. Now I do so, indeed I see it auto-populates
with links to auto-discovered servers. My question is, how does one
'interrogate' these links in order to treat them appropriately? In
Terminal an SMB server appears in /Network as a symbolic link, yet I
cannot work out how to use that link to access the server - I am
repeatedly told 'Device not configured' (cd, cat, ls..).
Another way to ask this might be "What does Finder do with respect to
server symbolic links that the command line cannot? Is this
functionality exposed to 3rd party software, or can it be explained
simply enough to be duplicated?"
Thanks in advance for any enlightenment!
Ian
