Need help with the Get Specified Servers action..

Hello,
Here is a workflow I have made (saved as a Finder plug-in):
1. Get specified servers --- afp://Sean:[email protected]/Sean
2. Connect to servers
3. Get selected finder items
4. Move finder items (to: desktop)
5. Eject disk
This workflow allows me to right-click on a file on my MacBook and move it to my iMac (it mounts the imac share, connects to it, transfers the file, then unmounts the share). It works perfect for me but I have one annoyance with it - the password part.. I would like your guys help in removing that bit.
I don't want my Mac to have a password, but I had to make one just for that step to work properly. Can anyone help me out here? I don't know much about server/URL stuff so any improvements that can be made there would be helfpul.
Thanks

Well, I could be wrong, but I don't believe you will be able to avoid using a password as it is a key element in security measures of the operating system.
As you found out even if you set up an account with no password and save off the keychain the OS still issues a dialog asking for a password for mounting the shared volume. In that case all you do is hit the "Connect" button and this could be automated in various ways (some listed below).
Setting up this method, while not really recommended, would still provide the facade of a secure system by challenging any other potential users to enter a password and reduce the number of keystrokes you need to enter.
Use AppleScript/Automator
tell application "System Events" to key code 36 -- return key
which could be placed in an Automator "Run AppleScript" action and saved off as a Finder plug-in contextual menu or an application/workflow.
Use Third-party Keyboard Shortcut apps
The AppleScript/Automator workflow could also be attached to a keyboard shortcut using one of the various third party apps that provide that functionality.
Some of those third party apps also give you the capability to send a keycode directly and have that attached to a keyboard shortcut.
RECOMMENDATION
Retain the password account with the user account info saved in the keychain. This can avoid the password dialog for server mounting and if automated, as described below, any situations in which the dialog can not be avoided.
The previously mentioned automation methods can easily be set up to actually enter your full password and hit the Connect/OK button so that you get complete security as long as someone else doesn't find out about the contextual menu or keyboard shortcut. It's as simple as adding another line or two to the AppleScript:
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "yourfullpassword"
delay 2
key code 36 -- return key
end tell

  • HT5312 i need help with the security questions is there some way to get you to remind me what they were from e-mail or other wise

    I need help with the security Questions is there some way to get you to remember them by e-mail of other wise

    Read the HT5312 page that you posted from, it has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Need help with the session state value items.

    I need help with the session state value items.
    Trigger is created (on After delete, insert action) on table A.
    When insert in table B at least one row, then trigger update value to 'Y'
    in table A.
    When delete all rows from a table B,, then trigger update value to 'N'
    in table A.
    In detail report changes are visible, but the trigger replacement value is not set in session value.
    How can I implement this?

    You'll have to create a process which runs after your database update process that does a query and loads the result into your page item.
    For example
    SELECT YN_COLUMN
    FROM My_TABLE
    INTO My_Page_Item
    WHERE Key_value = My_Page_Item_Holding_Key_ValueThe DML process will only return key values after updating, such as an ID primary key updated by a sequence in a trigger.
    If the value is showing in a report, make sure the report refreshes on reload of the page.

  • Need Help with the Clone Tool

    I need help with the clone tool, in that when I clone (let's say grass as example),  the new cloned area does NOT come out as sharp as the area selected.  It comes out much softer and somewhat blurred.  I have the opacity and flow both set at 100%.  This is very frustrating since I can not get a true clone.

    what "tip" do you have selected? where are you sampling from ( found in top option bar) ALSO make sure MODE is normal

    C. Select the self-signed certificate, then click File > Certification Request > Import CA Reply.
    I can get the certificate in to the Filr appliance but from there I'm stuck.
    Any help much appreciated.

    ok when you have you self signed certificate and you requested an official certificate with the corresponding CSR then you just need to go back to the digital certificates console. To import the official certificate, select the self signed certificate, then click File > Certification Request > Import CA Reply. Then a new windows pops out to select the certificate from your trusted authority from your local hard disk. Find the file (.cer worked for me) and click ok. As soon as you do this in the digital certificates console the self signed certificate will change the information that now it is officially signed. Look at the second column and you should see the name of your trusted authority under "issue from"
    I personally had a lot of issues across all platforms. Especially Firefox and Chrome for android. Needed to pack all the root cert, intermediate cert and signed cert into one file and import as CA reply. Not even sure if this is correct now. But at least it works.

  • Need help with the Vibrance adjustment in Photoshop CC 2014.

    Need help with the Vibrance adjustment in Photoshop CC 2014.
    Anytime I select Vibrance to adjust the color of an image. The whole image turns Pink in the highlights when the slider is moved from "0" to - or + in value.  Can the Vibrance tool be reset to prevent this from happening? When this happens I cn not make adjustments...just turns Pink.
    Thanks,
    GD

    Thank you for your reply. 
    Yes, that does reset to “0” and the Pink does disappear.
    But as soon as I move the slider +1 or -1 or higher the image turns Pink in all of the highlights again, rather than adjusting the overall color.

    Freezing, or crashing?
    ID on the Mac can produce reports that may (or may not) prove helpful in diagnosing the problem. I suspect this is something not directly related to InDesign, and maybe not to any of the Adobe apps directly since you seem to be having a problem in more than one. That often inidcates a problem at the system level.
    Nevertheless, it won't hurt to try to gather the reports. You'll find driections for how to generate them, and to post them on Pastebin.com (then put a link to them here) so we can see what's going on at Adobe Forums: InDesign CS5.5 Not Responding
    Do you happen to run a font manager? If so, which one, and waht version?

  • I need Help with the dynamic link feature in CS3

    Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me with an issue I am having? I have the adobe cs3 master collection. Having watched tutorials on the dynamic link feature my version seems not to have the same options as those I have viewed. I wish to send my premiere video creation to encore using dynamic link, however when I click "file" and then "adobe dynamic link" the only options available are about "adobe after effects". I can export to encore however I am only alloowed to export one premiere sequence to one new encore file, I cannot create an encore file and import several premiere sequence into the same encore project. That means currently I can only have an encore creation with one premiere sequence in it, and I have no adobe dynamic link. Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks very much for that guys but my premiere media encoder only lets me export as: MPEG1, MPEG1-VCD, MPEG2, MPEG2 blu-ray, MPEG2-DVD, MPEG2-SVCD, H.264, H.264 blu-ray, Adobe Flash Video, Quicktime, Real Media, Windows Media. Are any of these formats DV AVI?
    Am I to export my videos direct to encore or save them elsewhere (e.g desktop). It seems that I cannot export sequences from different premiere projects to the same encore project.
    Sorry if any of these questions seem obvious, I am just new to premiere and keen to do things right from the off.
    Many thanks again guys.

    Harm is correct.  For SD DVD, exporting as a DV AVI file from Pr will give you good results.  Encore's Automatic Transcoding will give you maximum quality for the available disc space.

    I need help with the conditional build tag option. I want to apply CBT to content in a topic. I looked at the Help topics and believed that I applied the feature correctly.

In the 2nd sentence below I want the text highlighted in blue to only appear for the printed output and the text printed in purple to only appear for the .htm /online output. Please help.
    There are common tasks used to manage the folders in the Navigator and the folders

    Hi there
    Using tagging is a two part process.
    Part One
    You create and apply the tags to the information you wish to control.
    Part Two
    You create a Build Expression that is used when you generate your output. The Build Expression typically reads something like: NOT Tag1 (or whatever your tag name is)
    Then when you generate and use the Build Expression, the information tagged is not included in the build.
    Cheers... Rick
