Mount .DMG images remotely via the Terminal
Authored by: boredzo on May 18, '05 12:04:12PM

from the manpage for hdid:

With OS X version 10.3, hdid calls the DiskImages.framework and its helpers take care of any out-of-kernel image serving duties. Thus hdid exists primarily for backwards compatibility. Generally, hdiutil attach should be favored over hdid.

so the correct command is hdiutil attach URL. works fine for me.

Mount .DMG images remotely via the Terminal

This works fine on Tiger apart from one thing....

How do you mount an encrypted image remotely?
When I try to do this locally, it pops up a window on the desktop asking for the password.
When I attempt from a remote ssh session, I get the error:
hdid: attach canceled
hdiutil: attach failed - Network is unreachable

Thanks
