unable to open .ai file from smb path in mac

[ananth padmakarp64550037]

Hello every one,

the issue that i am able to open a .ai file from a shared location in mac.

"ex path: smb: //10.7.8.9/scan/skpuldanda/cheshire Cat.ai "

But when i save it on an extension the path is converted to "/Volumes/Scan/SKPULDANDA/Cheshire Cat [Converted].ai". saved  successfully. again when i want to open the same file by clicking on the file which is saved on the extension it should open on the illustrator by  using the path  with which it has saved. but it raising an exception path not found. even i tried opening the by using the smb path.

Someone please update me with solution

Mount the volume In Finder first so that /volumes/Scan exists.  Most Mac apps can't save to an SMB path in the way Windows apps can, only to a mounted volume.

i didn't understand. could you make it a bit clear.

Go to finder, open a window showing that scan directory on the SMB mount. Leave the window open. Now you might be able to open in Illustrator, though I have no idea what you mean by "save it on an extension".
