Local server path

[Zeeto]

Hello,

I have created a script which archives images on a local server.

It works ok from Windows machines, but I can't figure out the path to the same location for the Mac clients.

I'm testing the paths using the below script, and none from the below options work:

var testPaths = new Array(
    '\\\\xyz\\photo\\Portfolio\\',                    // for Win clients works fine
    'afp://xyz/photo/Portfolio/',
    'afp://xyz.local/photo/Portfolio/',
    'afp://xyz._afpovertcp._tcp.local/photo/Portfolio/',
    'afp://192.168.1.74/photo/Portfolio/',
    'afp:\\\\xyz\\photo\\Portfolio\\',
    'afp:\\\\xyz.local\\photo\\Portfolio\\',
    'afp:\\\\xyz._afpovertcp._tcp.local\\photo\\Portfolio\\',
    'afp:\\\\192.168.1.74\\photo\\Portfolio\\',
    'Volumes/photo/Portfolio/'                    // this one works for Mac clients, when the share of local server is mounted
);
for (var key in testPaths)
{
     if(new Folder(testPaths[key]).exists)
     {
          alert(testPaths[key]);
     }
}

Please help,

Thank you

UNC links (i.e. \\server\path\to\share) are a Windows only solution that does not directly translate to Mac. Your working solution is likely the "Mac/Unix-way", i.e. mount the drive so it becomes a part of the filesystem.
