If you're using the the Troi File plug-in, why not use the MountDisk command? I've been using it for several years in our FM6 solution with no problems. I store the username & password in a users database and pass that on with the command. Here's what my script step looks like...

External("TrFile-MountDisk", xMountServerSwitches & "||" & xMountServerSIP1 & "|" & GetRepetition(xMountServerVolumes1, 1) & "|" & xUser_Name & "|" & xPassword)

We're in a Mac only environment, but I'm pretty sure you can do this on the PC side too, you'd just have to use different separators for the path. Will that work?

Hello,

I have a need that I was hoping to conquer today.

I have a solution in which I use the latest version of Troi's file plug-in. It is a mixed (Mac and PC) networked solution. I want to use the plug-in to
move files to a Shared Folder on the Server.

I am having a problem setting up my preferences to capture the proper path so that both the MAC and PC clients can access this shared folder. I catch the path OK but is there a way to mount the shared volume when I start FMP and unmount it when I quit. In a nut shell, I am looking for an intuitive way to let my users define the shared folder and access it when they need
to.

Can someone explain a good way to do this or better yet are there any sample
files out there that can assist me?

Appreciate the help!

DDZ
