I have a problem trying to mount a shared Volume on a remote OSX server via RB code.

I am using the following:

     ShowURL "afp://Peter Barck:mypwd  at  myIPaddress/myVolume"

and it comes back with the message that the name or password are not correct.
Yet, if I use the exact same parameters with the "Connect to Server ..." facility in OSX it works OK.

What am I missing here? Can this be a closed port issue? If so, what port does the RB ShowURL use?

My current work around is: When manually connected to the server and the Sharepoint is mounted, create an Alias of it. Then in RB execute:

Dim ff as FolderItem = GetFolderItem(myAlias). But this is a clumsy approach when I want more flexibility in code to connect to any server.

  Any guidance greatly appreciated.
