    Running a 10.4 OD Server with AFP sharepoints. I want to be able to connect directly to a users home folder w/o having to input the specific user name. In Windows all you do is connect to (start, run) \\server\share\%username% & whoever your logged in as is the folder that will pop up (assuming that your user name & folder is named the same).

    Is there any way to do the equivalent in the MAC “Connect to” line?

    I’ve tried (with and w/o afp://) with no luck –

    afp://server/sharepoint/$uid$
    afp://server/sharepoint/$username$

    Any thoughts…………..anyone…………..Bueller?

    Thanks in advanced.

    I assume you want this to be dynamic so that you can save this URI as a .webloc file and have users click it to automatically connect.

    I don’t know of any magic variable substitution in the URI parser and would be surprised if they exist. What I would suggest instead is a small applescript to construct the URI based on the current username and then connect to it. If the directory doesn’t exist, you could probably trap it nicely and present a nicer error message to your user.
