StefanM Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Hi, how do i mount a smb network drive permanently in Mac OSX Leopard? when i connect to a server, the connection is lost after next restart! I want to use a smb network share for parallels and also always use this drive for my documents. So i need a permanent connection. This was possible in Tiger...

Create script (Applications/Applescript/Script Editor) containing : try tell application "Finder" mount volume "smb://john:pswd@ls-gl5d7/cctvpatio" mount volume "smb://john:pswd@ls-gl5d7/macstuff" mount volume "smb://john:pswd@edmini/share" end tell end try with your own user id and password. Save the script as say Mounts in Users/John/Library/Scripts Go to System Preferences/Accounts/Login Items and add it (Mounts) to your startup list. On reboot, it will make the links. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount drive in Finder 2. Go to System Pteferences > Accounts > Login Items 3. Add this drive in the list of objects as if it were an application ;-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
