mount volume

Synopsis

AppleShare

AppleShare

Mounts an AppleShare volume (a machine where Personal File Sharing is turned on). The machine is specified as an afp URL string, such as is returned from the choose URL command. To avoid the dialog for choosing a particular volume, add the volume name as a second path element. To avoid the dialog asking for username and password, supply them as parameters or as part of the URL. A Windows server can be mounted using an smb URL. Returns a file URL (but no result if the volume is already mounted). If the syntax of the mount volume command is insufficiently flexible, consider using do shell script to call mount_afp.

Examples

mount volume "afp://duck.local/OmniumGatherum" ¬
    as user name "matt neuburg" with password "teehee"
-- this one presents username/password dialog and volume dialog
