I've run into an issue where the way we have our servers at work configured has created a bit of a headache pertaining to multiple servers.
In the Windows version of BC I could access a server by using
\\pubweb6.example.local\GlobalTemplates\
On the Mac side I have to mount this pubweb6 server using Connect To Server in Finder, which then enables me to access this server using this path.
/Volumes/GlobalTemplates/
This is all well and good, but unfortunately I have to mount all 6 of these servers, all of which have the same name when mounted as a volume in Finder. Ideally I'd like to be able to just use the SMB path, which is what I used to access the server through Finder, like this
smb://pubweb6.example.local/GlobalTemplates/
But when I try to use an SMB path it won't connect. Does anyone know if you can connect via an SMB url, or does a share have to be mounted in the OS to work properly?
