Hi Mike

Thanks for the reply.

I have used parts of your library to check to see if a network drive is mounted and this serves the purpose perfectly.

I’m more thinking about if the drive is not mounted (this is a large network infrastructure supporting thousands of people) would it be a possibility to auto mount this knowing what the SMB address is? I have a feeling there would be security sandbox issue though would like confirmation?

Thanks

Tyrone

@tyroneneil

Check and see if the path is exposed via the file system somehow. i.e. if it is mounted as a drive or volume? If so, then you can access it via that path…

Hope that helps…

Hi Mike

Fantastic stuff, works great, I am going to assume you are using a timer and browsing the file system for changes here?

I am currently using this to check a network drive is mounted on a local users machine, is there any way to connect directly to auto mount a network drive via a network path eg.. smb://example/, I had a play with it though the file object gave a bit of a grunt when adding anything similar to SMB etc…

Let me know

Thanks

Tyrone

Hi,

Works great. Does somebody know if it’s possible to retrieve the UID from the USB device after Volume was added? Building a dedicated login-station. I know it should be possible with some kind of Java-bridging application, but I prefer doing it directly from flash/air.

Thanks,
Tije

[...] and watch for changes to it. Mike Chambers’ Volume Monitor class does something similar [link] with watching the local storage drives, so I’ve stolen that idea. I’m not going to go [...]

Hi Mike,

Can you maybe place your slides from the FITC online?

Thanks,

In FileUtil.as, under getRootDirectories() in the if else-statement, for linux,
v = File(v[0]).resolvePath(“/media”).getDirectoryListing();
does the trick for most distributions.
