How do I make a desktop shortcut out of a file server location

[devknob]

How do I put an icon on my desktop that will go to 10.0.0.189 when I double click it?😡

This would be like the "Create Shortcut" in Windows.....................................................................................................😎

Create an Automator action using "Get Specified Servers" and "Connect to Servers".

Thanks. Whats the straight forward way that non-mac users can understand?

Make Alias, after using finder preferences to show connected servers icons on the desktop.

 

[mslide]

Finder -> Go -> Connect to Server. Enter in the path (e.g. smb://10.0.0.189/mySharedFolder. the "smb://" if it's a windows share). Drag the newly created shortcut, on the desktop (Finder -> preferences if you don't see it), to a Finder window into the folder that you want it in.

Click on the new alias and it will automatically connect, if not connected already.
