Or "Server on the Mount", or the poor man's KeyChain.
This application creates documents which, when double-clicked, quickly
log you into an AppleShare server.
The documents store an alias to the server and your username and
password. (The password is encrypted).
To create a new document, open just the ServerMounter application (ie:
don't open a document), drag the icon of the server you want to store
into the document window, (you'll see the machine, volume, and zone
appear), enter your username and password, and save the document.
To use a document, just double-click the document. If ServerMounter is
launched by opening a document it will quickly log you in and then quit
itself.
The app works by resolving an alias to the server and poking the required
keystrokes into the event queue to type the password and username in the
log-in dialog. So, it's a bit of a "hack" and I know that in some
situations, background processes and extensions can defeat this scheme by
gobbling my keystrokes.
Requires 68020 or better and a system with drag & drop.
Anyway, hope you like it, I find it saves me time. ServerMounter is free,
but I'd like you to contact me for permission to include it in
collections that people pay for.
