Connecting to a Windows server from a Mac via a link

by ndveitch . Updated 15 years, 9 months ago

Hi There,

I have a quick question to ask, what would the command be to link from a Mac to a Windows server.

I work in a mix PC/Mac environment and often have to transfer files between folders on my Windows servers and then I email my users that the files are transferred and in the email I would add the link to that folder, e.g. \\servername\foldername\ and then the PC users can just press the link and they go ot that folder.

How would you do it for Mac? I saw something on the Mac Forums site about using smb://servername/foldername/ and I tried it but it didn’t work. I sent an email to one of my Mac users but the line did not come out as a hyperlink.

Could anyone let me know if there is a way of adding a link to emails so that my Mac users can just press it and it will take them to the respective folder?

Thanx
Nathan
