I have this shell script that i want to perform on another machine.

get quoted form of (text 1 thru -2 of (POSIX path of (path to home folder)))
do shell script "/usr/bin/find " & result & " -ipath '*iTunes Music*.m4a'"
get POSIX file (first paragraph of result)
tell application "Finder"
	open result
end tell

It works fine on a local computer, but when i try to play it on a network computer like this, i get an error “cannot get POSIX file”:


tell application "finder" of machine "eppc://xxx:xxx@xxx"
get quoted form of (text 1 thru -2 of (POSIX path of (path to home folder)))
do shell script "/usr/bin/find " & result & " -ipath '*iTunes Music*.m4a'"
get POSIX file (first paragraph of result)
tell application "Finder"
	open result
end tell
end tell
#2

Ok, so there was a problem getting POSIX in that second script, so I tried this:

tell application "finder" of machine "eppc://iandopps:dopps1@central"
	get quoted form of (text 1 thru -2 of (POSIX path of (path to home folder)))
	do shell script "/usr/bin/find " & result & " -ipath '*iTunes Music*.m4a'"
	set place1 to (first paragraph of result)
	
end tell
tell application "finder" of machine "eppc://xxxxx"
	open place1
end tell

It actually sets the variable,but not in the correct format. The true location is

“hd:Users:iandopps:Music:iTunes Music:'N Sync:Celebrity:01 Pop.m4a”

and this script makes the location this:

“/Users/iandopps/Music/iTunes Music/'N Sync/Celebrity/01 Pop.m4a”

The difference will not allow the finder to open the file.
So, here is my problem. The original shell cript runs on a network computer. But, it cannot get POSIX as first paragraph. The above script sets the first paragraph as a variable. But, this is not the exact location of the file because “HD” id left off, and there are “/” instead of “:”. So my question is,

  1. Can I get the first POSIX thing to work in the first script.

OR

  1. Can I get the correct location out of the variable in the above script?
