Thanks for your quick response.
I am using NSTask to execute the script
_localMountPath = @"/Users/pacs/Documents/Temp";
   NSTask* task = [NSTask new];
    [task setLaunchPath:@"/sbin/mount_smbfs"];
str = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"//Demo;Administrator:Password@[email protected]/0BF045A8"];
[task setArguments:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:str,_localMountPath, nil]];
    NSPipe *outputPipe = [NSPipe pipe];
    [task setStandardError:outputPipe];
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(mountCompleted:) name:NSFileHandleReadToEndOfFileCompletionNotification object:[outputPipe fileHandleForReading]];
    [[outputPipe fileHandleForReading] readToEndOfFileInBackgroundAndNotify];
[task launch];
The problem here is password is having @ symbol inbetween .
The format is @"//Domain;User:Password@servershaedpath"
So the compiler is taking the path as "@[email protected]/0BF045A8" and not able to connect.
How to solve the problem of Passwordhaving "@" symbol inbetween.
Thanks
