Mout a share folder?

Hello,
I have an imac and a pc! What I want to do is mount a share folder on my mac desktop so that I can just drag a drop file to the pc? How can I do that? I don't want to go to Connect server i already do that now! So is there a way where whenever i turned the pc on and folder shows up on my mac computer?
Thanks

Once the Share is mounted via Connect to Server, there are 3 ways...
Drag that Globe Icon to the PrefPane>Accounts>Login items, window... this will Automount it, (not recommended by me).
Make an Alias of Globe Icon on the Desktop.
Drag that Globe Icon to the Dock, between Applications and Trash.

Can I Create A Symbolic Link to folders stored on an SMB Share folder?

Hello,
I am very new to Unix and was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction with regards to Symbolic links and an SMB share folder ....
Have purchased an ext. LAN Drive enclosure (http://www.macpower.com.tw/products/hdd3/pleiades/pd_usblan) which connects to my wireless router via ethernet like my G5 (main Mac) - our iBook connects via Airport. I have copied all my general documents/files to the SMB share folder on the ext. drive so that I can access them from the G5 and also the iBook.
However I'd also like to be able to store my actual Mail folder (/Users/Mark/Library/Mail/), , Safari folder (/Users/Mark/Library/Safari) + my Address Book and other folders sitting in the Application Support folder on my SMB share so all important docs/folders are in the one place. I've tried storing these folders on the SMB share and putting an Alias to these back in Users/Mark/Library/Mail etc but of course an Alias doesn't work.
Question 1: Can I create a symbolic link to these files if these are stored on an SMB share folder? If so, could you please tell me exactly what I'd need to type into Terminal? My SMB Share path is smb://STORAGE-XXXX/MARK
I have copied my iPhoto library and iTunes library to the SMB share and are working fine.
Question 2: Is it possible/worth attempting to move my whole home folder to the SMB share folder? Ideally, I'd like to be able to access my Mail from the iBook as well. If I could log into either the G5 or the iBook and access my latest Mail, Address Book and other Application Settings, that would be perfect. Would this be possible?
Thanks
Mark.

Dear Mark,
Yes you can. The command to create a link will look something like this:
$ ln -s thisFolder /Users/mark/thatFolder
I did this while I was hosting a microsoft based game. This put all of the players into a common directory.
SMB just resolved the link and everything worked fine.
However, as I understand it, some other applications do NOT work very well with links. As I have NOT tried it with other applications, I fear I can be of NO help to you in this matter.
The only way to find out which applications work with links is to try them and see what happens.
Best of luck,
Kurt

Sharer folder issue between two directly connected PC

Dear All, I have an issue regarding folder sharing. need your help to resolve this. the scenario is
two PC's are connected directly to share a folder, to open *.mdb file of a accounting software. this problem start when I moved windows XP PC's and installed windows 7 64 bit PC's. there is no compatibility issue as I run the same software on other
locations
PC A (192.168.1.200) has that *.mdb file and PC B (192.168.1.100) has to open this file through a network.
when I configured the folder share and network setting, all done well and PC B can connect with PC A and that software work well. After two days, when we start the software at PC B, its not responding when it try's to open that database file.
while analyzing, I found out that PC B can open the share folder of PC A but when open the desired database folder explore starts not responding and need to quit it by force. I also tried to share another folder of PC A but results are same.
PC A run the software with out any problem.
It seems like network issue, so I check the cable with cable tester, found it good, than I check the connectivity by ping command, it giving me <1ms time. but still change the connectors.
the hard part is that, this share folder issue arises 3-4 days a week and 2-3 days it works well, and this is happening from last 28 days. I mean, one day we start the the PC B and use the software via network, the next day we start the PC B and we don't
able to use the software,..strange.
I also change the cable connection from cross to straight as both new PC's have gigabit Ethernet but results are same.
I already contact with software company, as per them its network issue as we can use the software on local PC (PC A) and there is no error messages popup.
please help me out in this regard.
Thanks Tanveer

Hi,
Firstly, we need to identify is this file sharing or netowrking problem. If you can access to the shared folder and modify its files which locate at PC B through PC A, it indicates file sharing works with no problem.
After that, we need to check if its networking or software itself problem when reading the .mdb file.
Put the .mdb file at PC A, then using the software open it for test. If no problem, we need to use Process Monitor to capture the access trace of the software process, we should be able to find some clues.

Steps to save a Query/Report as Excel file in Share folder

Hi,
I have a requirement where i need to schedule a BI report automatically on a daily basis and save it in a Sharepoint folder as a excel file. I have gone through the Forums but didnt get a clear idea on how to proceed this with. I read about RSCRM_BAPI transaction but i hope we need to do this manually to save the file each time. Also, in Broadcaster there are options only to send Email & save in Portal.
So, if anybody have idea on saving a Query/Report as excel file in a Share folder automatically, kindly help me in suggesting the steps to do this activity.

Hi
1. Create Three Floders in AL11 i.e. in Apllication Server. Eg Name it F1, F2 and F3.
2. First dump the .csv files into F1. (Name xyz.csv).
3. Then using UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , first check the file is there are not in F1, if yes then rename the file with date and time or date and transfer the files from F1 to F2 i.e xyz06032010.csv.
4. Then Create a small ABAP program to check the file in F2, if it is there then Trigger the Event, and using that event you execute teh PC.
5. Then using UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F2 to F3 i.e xyz06032010.csv
6. Next day morning F1 and F2 are empty and F3 is having the backup files.
So use this method, I used the similar logic and it is working fine.
Timinings are importent i.e what time you need to dump the fule in F1 and what time you need to run UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F1 to F2 and what time UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F2 to F3.
OR
1. Create Two Floders in AL11 i.e. in Apllication Server. Eg Name it F1 and F2
2. First dump the .csv files into F1. (Name xyz.csv)
3. Then load the data using InfoPackage, through PC.
4. At the end of the load Attach a simple Program to Move the xyz.csv file from F1 to F2.
5. So next day the file will come to F1 and the it will load and at the end it will move to F2.
Else you can use simple one or two lines of UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script to move the file from F1 to F2 , once you load is over.
While moving the file from F1 to F2 you can append the date at the end of the file and then move to F2, it is use full for future reference.
See Blogs and Article, similar logic...

File adapter(receiver) to generate file in remote windows share folder?

Hello gurus,
1.Is that possible, to use the file adapter(NFS) to generate a file in a remote windows share folder?
How can i specify the target directory field?
2.Another question, when i specify the target directory like rootFolder/subFolder, then the file is generated in the folder
/usr/sap/XID/DVEBMGS00/j2ee/cluster/server0/rootFolder/subFolder.
Why did it put my path as sub-folder of /usr/sap/XID/DVEBMGS00/j2ee/cluster/server0?
Can i put it in another place? or even start from the root?
Best regards, Charlie

> 1.Is that possible, to use the file adapter(NFS) to generate a file in a remote windows share folder?
This is possible only, when your PI system is installed on Windows OS also.
> How can i specify the target directory field?
The same way as you access it from your Windows Explorer.
> Why did it put my path as sub-folder of /usr/sap/XID/DVEBMGS00/j2ee/cluster/server0?
Because this is the working directory of the Adapter Engine
> Can i put it in another place? or even start from the root?
Yes, of course. Why you do not simply try it?

How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory?

Hello guys
I'd like to know How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory but still keep their power of creating new folders in their personal 'my folder'?
I tried changing the 'manage privilage ---- create folder' to deny certain user accounts, but by doing so, it also stops the user from creating new folders in their 'my folder', which is not good..
I also tried going into these share folders and tried different access types such as 'change/delete', 'read', 'traverse folder' etc, but none of it work ideally. The 'change/delete' access still allows them to create new folders, 'read' access prevents creating new folders but also take away their power of saving reports..
Any thoughts on how to take away their ability to ONLY create new folders in share folder areas without affecting their other privileges?
Please advise
Thank you

Easy, on the shared folders root folder only give them 'read' or 'traverse folder' but on the the folder inside the shared folders root folder give them 'change/delete'. That means they can change anything inside those folders but not create any folders at the shared folders root level.

CM Repository in a Share Folder

Hi All,
Need your help in a issue.
I need to create a CM repository which should be available in the share folder so that all can see the reposiroty and the documents inside it.
I have created the CM repository and also tried changing the Root directory and etc but no success.
Can you please guide me as how i can make the repository available in the share folder.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Ramalakshmi.S
Please reply anyone
Edited by: Ramalakshmi Pillay on Jul 10, 2008 7:20 PM

Hi Ramalakshmi,
you are using a CM Repository in FSDB Mode. Am I right? If so, check the following:
1. Did you configure your Network Path? The specified user should have full access to the resource.
2. Did you configure the Root Directory? Note: The Root Directory in your Repository Manager mustn't point to the same directory of your network path!!
3. Did you configure the Root Directory for Versions? Note: The Root Directory for Versions mustn't be a subfolder of your Root Directory!! Must point to a folder which contains the subfolders "versions, workingresources, workspaces, wastebasket"!
4. Persistence Mode must be set to "FSDB"
5. Windows Landscape System must be the same as your Network Path.
Hope this helps and will solve your issue.
Best regards,
Denis

SCCM Task Sequence Fail to Connect Share Folder on SCCM server

those days we have an task sequence issue- can't connect to share folder on the SCCM server
Enviroment
in our network, we have DHCP server, DC server, DNS server. we are trying to bring up an new server to boot from the SCCM server. we have two VLAN in our environment. VLAN 54 and VLAN 200.
the DHCP/DC/SCCM/DNS are all running on VLAN200
Issue
we have those steps in this task sequence
Installing OS
setup windows and configuration manager
connect to an share folder to SCCM(run some sicrpts)
run the scripts
install the sqlserver
1. when the VM running on VLAN 200, no issue on all the task list, we can access the share folder on SCCM server.
and task sequence run ran success.
2. but when VM running on VLAN 54, issue came. when the task sequence run into the [Setup Operation System]/[Connect to network folder]. this step can't get the share folder to sccm server.
then the task sequcne was quit, so we logined to vm have a look. run the ipconfig/all. no IP address get from DHCP server.
but when we run the command ipconfig/renew on this VM, then we can get the IP address from DHCP server.
we have tried an alternative solution like below.
add an step ipconfig/renew before connect to share folder, then the task sequence can connect to share folder, but when the task run into last step- install the SQL from package.
unfortunately, we came cross another issue.
Failed to invoke Execution Manager to Install Software for PackageID='GDL00008' ProgramID='Install SQL 2005 Standard SP4' AdvertID='GDL2001F' hr=0x800706ba InstallSoftware 12/10/2013 11:48:17 PM 1012 (0x03F4)
InstallSoftware failed, hr=0x800706ba InstallSoftware 12/10/2013 11:48:17 PM 1012 (0x03F4)
Quetions
so we suspect there may something to do with network, but the network team said there is no issue on their side. so what i can go to research, how can i fiind the root cause or how to confirm it is an network issue. do you guys have any idea on this issue?

The error means RPC server unavailable. TS needs to invoke Execution Manager by RPC. This may be caused by the issue of RPC starting. I suggest you check the RPC service availability first. Another try is to add a restart computer step before installing
SQL. If still no avail, add a Delay "cmd.exe /c timeout /t 900".
Regarding the connecting network share issue, seems the network services has not been initializing or ready. Another possibility is the DHCP time out. Check the Event log and this may give you some clues of why the network is not ready or DHCP cannot get
IP address. Network Monitor can also be used to monitor the IP helper when the Client try to send DHCP request after reboot.
