You can use update as originally suggested, if you have username/password for each user, e.g.: tell app "Finder" of machine "eppc://SomeUser:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" update folder "Machintosh HD:Users:SomeUser:folder:" end tell etc. Or, in Perl: use Mac::Glue; my $finder = new Mac::Glue 'Finder', eppc => Finder => 'host.local', 0, 0, "SomeUser", "pass"; $finder->obj(folder => 'Machintosh HD:Users:SomeUser:folder:')->update; Note: this syntax will change slightly for Mac OS X. I have code to automatically change file paths from Unix to Mac OS and back, but I neglected to apply it to folders too! Next version of Mac::Glue will allow: $finder->obj(folder => '/Users/SomeUser/folder')->update; -- Chris Nandor [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://osdn.com/
