Hello everyone, Is it possible to set the directory to a remote computer? I would like to use Mathematica to get a listing of files on a Mac that I have at a second office. I have tried to do this using a number of directory paths, but I always get an error saying that Mathematica cannot set the directory. I used SetDirectory[thePath]; Here are two of many paths I've tried, all unsuccessfully. thePath = "username:password at myServer.address.ca//Users/username/Documents/folderName/"; and thePath = "username:password at myServer.address.ca//Documents/folderName/"; The first works with an FTP client such as Interarchy, but of course, SetDirectory may not be doing FTP. Any thoughts? Gregory
