    Using Applescript to connect to a Windows Server

    Sorry i forgot to add that part, i actually do have that in my code, but it still pops up the auth window. Could it be because my windows share doesn't have a password? My address actually looks like this: smb://USER@WINDOWS/SHARE

    PHP uses

    I'm thinking of picking up PHP in my spare time. I'm not new to programming, i have a background in java and C. Basically I'm just curious on what kind of things PHP does best. And I would like to know if it is mainly just a Web language or if you can make stand alone and local scripts.

    Airport Hub = HUGE BOTTLENECK!?!?! HEEELLLPP

    Our DSL works just great with a computer connected directly to it. The router i am using is the Apple Airport Extreme. As far as my laptop is telling me it is as up-to-date as it can be. All transfers going through the router during one of its fits, suffer.

    No "droppable" aliases for Firewire drives?

    Ok, i've determined what made the alias not work for dragging and dropping. When i right clicked on the folder and created the alias, it was made on the firewire drive, then i dragged it to the desktop. But, the way firewire drives work, is they want to copy by nature (how to change this with a...

    The thing is, the alias are working just fine, if i double-click on it, it will open that folder, but what i want to do is drag a file ontop of the alias, and have it store the file on the firewire drive that the alias points to. I will also try to repair permissions when i get to the machine...

    No "droppable" aliases for Firewire drives?

    Hmm, if i drag the folder into the side bar of the finder, drag and drop works. The permissions didn't have anything to do with the dragging and droping to and alias on my desktop. I went looking through the folder actions and i couldn't find one to suit my purpose. Any other ideas?
