Mount a Network Shared Drive

Scripting Forums Automator

I am trying to set up an Automator action that will mount to a specific shared network drive. This will enable all students to access their work projects on other computers across campus.

My automator script is located at http://www.paullywog.com/NetworkDrive.zip

The current drive location is afp://10.196.10.68/, but I would like to mount to a specific volume. There are no login/pass to access this computer on campus.

The mounted volume address needs to be something like this afp://10.196.10.68/Volumes/Student’s Public.

Then the automator action I want to have happen is:

  1. The shared disc folder is mounted.
  2. Any files on the desktop will be moved into a folder with the current date
  3. Then the folder and its contents will be transfered to the shared drive
tell application "Finder"
	mount volume "afp://10.196.10.68"
end tell

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Paul Allen

You don’t need the Finder.

set theShare to "Name of the Share"
set mountedVolumes to list disks
if mountedVolumes does not contain theShare then
mount volume "afp://10.196.10.68/Name of the Share" as user name "" with password ""
end if
