how do i enable Login/Startup network connection mapping?
- Thread starter zynizen
- Start date
Connect to the server and the share you need to add (command-k in Finder, here if you need more).
Once it is mounted locally, then go to System Preferences > Accounts > your account > Login Items > click on "+" and then add from the dialogue the mounted drive or folder. That will mount the drive when you log in.

There should just be an error, or Finder may try to load it for a longer time and then give an error.
One alternative is to drag the folder you want mounted, or that is inside the share you want mounted, to your left bar in Finder, or drag on the dock close to the trash bin (right of the divider), and to save the login details for the share in the keychain. That way you'll get the share mounted when you need to. That can be perhaps more practical if you have several locations that you switch between.

perfect! that would suit my needs! I travel between 3 locations, one location is connected to nas at work, and two others are local nas/ftp accordingly.
Thanks again, Appreciate it! one last question even though this is completely different topic, whats the best non-mac linux os? I have a really old laptop I want to get going again and run some form of linux or even an old version of mac os, what would you recommend?

Mac OS X isn't Linux -- it's UNIX... while similar on the surface, they are two different operating systems.
The "best" Linux is whatever one works for you. If you want high customizability and tweaking, go with Gentoo. If you want a decent desktop Linux installation that's easy to manage, go with Ubuntu. If you want a super-slim installation with a basic window manager, go with Xubuntu. If you want top-notch service and support, go with Redhat. If you want high mainstream acceptance, go with Fedora. In short, there is no "best, all-around, one-size-fits-all" Linux. They all have their good and bad points, and whichever one fits your needs the best is the "best" Linux for you.

What do you want to do with Linux? There are so many options.
If you aren't sure, perhaps Ubuntu would be a good choice. Or FreeBSD (even though I wouldn't count the BSD under Linux). El Diablo has good points for choosing the distro, if unsure post what you would like to do with it and we can suggest more

You can also make an alias and when need for the FTP drive, open the alias. The computer will only then make the connection thus prevention errors when on a location where the FP connection will not work. Ofcourse this will slow down the opening of the FTP on its first time access (but speed up booting), especially when not available.
