For example: If you want to mount the share point "foobar" from a server at 192.168.168.5, use this
afp://192.168.168.5/foobarIf there are spaces in the name of the mount point, you may need to encode them using %20.

Normally, when you mount a remote drive over AFP, you are presented with a list of available share points to mount. If you know which one you want, you can save yourself some time by adding it to the URL you give to the "connect to server" panel.

Hint Options
Create aliases
If you mount an afp share point often enough, you can just create an alias for it on your desktop (or anywhere by command+option+drag) once it's mounted, and just double-click on the alias, just like in OS 9. This has the added advantage of working over a dial-up connection to your network.
Create aliases
I love having afp mounts it on the Finder toolbar. One click and your volume mounts.
Sharepoint in the dock
What's also cool is this:
Even faster connection
For a really fast connection to a server enter the URL in the connect to server dialog box like so:
connect at startup?
does the alias trick work if you add that to the startup routine? |
