Scripted Remote volume Connection

[agutleben]

Is there a way to have FileMaker automatically connect to a remote volume though AppleScript or other method. I actually am trying to do this on Mac and Win. but thought I would start here. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Yes,

tell application "Finder"

mount volume "smb://domain;username@servername/share"

end tell

Yep, and on windows you can say:

net x: "127.0.0.1volumename"

Where x is the drive you want to mount the volume to.

BTW ^^ is a send event script step.

What application do I specify?

Is this a Mac question? If so, use Script Editor in /Applications/AppleScript to create the script. Save it as Executable so FileMaker can launch it (rather than opening it as a document in Script Editor).
