Mounting servers with Guest access, help req. please...

Hi everyone,

Please can someone point me in the right direction.

I’m trying to mount a share with Guest access however when the network dialog pops up it’s still asking for authentication? I’ve tried a few variations on a theme but as yet i haven’t cracked it.

I’ve tried spaces instead of ‘%20’ but still the same.

Here’s the code I’ve been using:

tell application "Finder"
	try
		mount volume "smb://;AUTH=No%20User%20Authent@ip-address/server-volume"
	end try
end tell

Thanks in advance,

Nick

Hi

this works for smb, you need to hard code your password

tell application "Finder"
	try
		mount volume "smb://User Name:Password@00.00.00.00/Volume"
	end try
end tell

Hi Budgie,

Thanks for the help, it worked ok.

Was told by one of our techie guys that it may also have been due to guest access not being available on the volume I was trying to mount.

Thank you once again,

Nick
