OR, perhaps Mac users get an extra setting where we have the address which can be the SMB address and a second setting for the base path to look for once the address has connected via whatever alias the mac assigns the mounted drive (websites, websites-1, etc.) In other words, start trying to find the base directory from the "websites" or "websites-1" starting points. It would be a GREAT FEATURE, if BC could either remember those base folder settings differently for SMB address connections, allow the connections to be made, and then trying to walk the base directory path from that point. Next time I try to connect, the Mac has no idea where /Volumes/websites really is and doesn't connect.įor now, I have left my settings with the SMB addresses, and just manually select the base folders every time I open a session, and then just don't save the session updates. However, if I save these session settings, my mappings change from the SMB addresses to the VOLUME addresses. That opens both, and they are treated as equal mapped folders left and right. This makes what I see on the Left different than what I see on the right.Įasily enough, I can right-click the left and right folders I want to compare and select "Set Base Folder". Smb:///websites//web/īecause of the way the Mac handles mounting, what happens is the drives mount as aliased volumes like:Īt this point BC is opening the "websites" folder of each share and doesn't get beyond that to the desired sub-folders. In my setup most of my shares are on a remote Windows server, so in BC I am connecting to them with the SMB share address to I get the auto-mounting (which is nice). One thing I have run into pretty quickly is how base folder mappings work with SAMBS shared drives. I just started using the BC4 beta on mac (love it). This message is sort of related to this forum post ( ), but different enough that it seemed worthy of its own post.
