Mount .DMG images remotely via the Terminal
Authored by: david-bo on May 18, '05 12:25:11PM

In earlier versions of Mac OS X (10.2?) you could simply

% open disk://host.tld/image.dmg

but doesn't work anymore, Any ideas why?

disk:// ?

Is that the URL protocol? disk:// ? I've never heard of that one..

I just did an "open disk.dmg" while ssh'd into a system which I was also logged into and it worked, but it opened up the GUI app on the remote system to mount the image. When I logged out and tried again I got an error about not being able to connect to the windowserver. These were just local dmg files, but I the premise is the same.
