Looking for some advice on how to access a file on a remote computer. Both computers in question are on OSX.
I'm getting file locations out of a text file on the local computer that look like URLs, e.g. "file://localhost/<path to file>" with spaces replaced by %20, etc. Although the URL includes "localhost", the files are actually on another computer. If I look at the System Settings Sharing options for the remote computer, it tells me it can be accessed as "Petes-iMac.local" or as "afp:petes-imac". I tried replacing "localhost" with "Petes-iMac.local" in the URL and used "get URL..." but got "can't open file" in the result. Also tried "afp://petes-imac/<pathtofile>" with the same result I tried libURLDownloadToFile with "file://Petes-imac.local", file://petes-imac", and "afp://petes-imac"and used the callback message to check the URLStatus (= error) and libURLErrorData to get the error (=invalid URL). The drive and folder containing the files have been set up for sharing on Petes-iMac and I can see them and open them in the Finder from the other computer. Any suggestions on how to make this work?
