Mac Forum / Programming / Perl / April 2005How to mount FTP as volume?
Slightly off-topic I know, but ... there was discussion recently of ways to get FTP servers to mount as volumes on OS X, but I can't find it now -- can anyone point me at the right tool? > Slightly off-topic I know, but ... there was discussion recently of > ways to get FTP servers to mount as volumes on OS X, but I can't find > it now -- can anyone point me at the right tool? Finder. Select "Go/Connect to Server", and enter an ftp:// URL in the "Server Address" box. sherm-- Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net Hire me!

Although it works of course! How weird I never knew I could do that... ------------------------------------------------------------ "Have You Validated Your Code?"

How weird I never knew I could do that... Hmmm... "apropos ftp" lists a mount_ftp command, although I've never used that one myself. Might that be it? sherm-- Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net Hire me!

I just tried the "Finder. Select "Go/Connect to Server", and enter an ftp:// URL in the "Server Address" box" that Sherm mentioned and it "Lost Connection to the Server" and didn't save a thing after trying to copy 2405 files, I think I'll stick to Interarchy for awhile.... Still, I learn something almost every time Sherm post a message here. Thanks Sherm! -- Bill Stephenson 417-546-5593 > I just tried the "Finder.

I agree with Bill - Finder ranks pretty low on my list of preferred FTP clients. Dead last, in fact... I probably should have mentioned that, instead of just answering the question literally. My fave on MacOS 9 was Fetch. Nowadays I use ncftp from a terminal. sherm-- Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net Hire me! My resume: http://www.dot-app.org Hi Everyone, I kind of remember trying this, it sort of worked, ie, it made the connection but it was slow and unusable and the little wheel would just keep spinning until I killed the job.
