CARLOS-SZ  The app (trial version) mounted my FTP but I can only read files through Finder. I can’t delete, create folder or copy a new file to the FTP address. Is it a bug?

CLAKES  Hm.. It doesn't seem to work with Gizzie, my 3.0 jailbroken iPhone 3GS sporting Netatalk.

Pretty weird since all other file browsers show the volume just fine.

Here's the console output:

2009-08-02 11:20:15.923 Bonjour Mounter[350:2f03] Wait Over for for :Host:Gizzie Mount:/

2009-08-02 11:20:15.932 Bonjour Mounter[350:2f03] mount failed for server afp://Gizzie:548//, error == -36

Any help appreciated.

SANDRO NOEL  Error -43 stands for "File or directory not found; incomplete pathname."

"/" is not a network share point name.

if you use finder and connect to your phone, folders should appear.

use the name of one of the folders in the add window's share point text box.

CLAKES  Thanks a lot for the reminder Sandro!

My stupid bad mistake. "root" was quite obviosly the mount point: the 99% work on a Mac made me think it was "/". =/

As a side note: I'm using Bonjour Mounter for wirelessly syncing documents to my iPhone for road use with iStorage. ChronoSync's scheduler handles the job of automatically starting the sync-up as soon as my jailbroken iPhone mounts as a Bonjour network drive via Netatalk.

From this point of view, an option to "Mount All at Startup" (a delay would be necessary I guess) would be the most welcome added feature/option in BM's preferences, so that the phone sync-up would start as soon as I log in or start my Mac up without even a mouse-click! =)

You'd be my hero then, and would donate with the utmost pleasure (although, well, guess I will soon anyways if I keep on with this use of mine).

Love,

Francesco

JAMES STRACHAN  It works like a charm for me; enabling me to use my Time Capsule drive for itunes.

The only downside is; Bonjour Mounter does not seem to auto-mount when my laptop wakes up from its sleep - it only auto mounts on startup

MICKSMAC  2.0.5 worked perfectly mounting my AFP disk until a few days ago - now it hangs forever saying "mounting". If I kill it and try to restart, it gives an error of "-600" for a minute or so.

Note that everything else (Finder, ChronoSync) continues to mount my AFP disk OK.

Any helpful suggestions would be welcome. I loved the ability of BM to auto-mount my AFP disk.

SANDRO NOEL  something must have changed on your system that broke the bonjour notifications.

i run OS X with all the latest updates and BM still works like a charm,

did you try restarting the application ?

can you send me the logs ?

thank you .

SANDRO NOEL  that my friend is because you are mounting drives to the same server with different users.

one of them has lower access rights than the other one.

The way AFP works is that once you authenticate with the server it shows you only what you are allowed to see.

so let's say you log in with a guest account on the server first.

you will see only the public shares.

and the your full power user will not even see his shares. thus the directory not found message... what you have to do is use only one user per server.

if that is not your case, then it is something i have not encountered yet.

MICKSMAC  Thanks Sandro. Just found something else interesting...

I had been trying to manually mount the AFP disk, with:

mkdir /Volumes/RAID

mount_afp afp://xxx:pass@Snowflake/RAID /Volumes/RAID

and it timed out with error 1069 (no server). Yet the finder mounts OK!!! So I tried...

mount_afp afp://xxx:pass@Snowflake.local/RAID ...

And it works! *BUT* I tried setting server to "Snowflake.local" in BonjourMounter but no fix :-(

Any ideas??

MICKSMAC  Here's the problem:

Bonjour sees the AirportExtreme as "Snowflake" (and so does BJMounter).

TCP/IP sees the Airport as "Snowflake.local" (not Snowflake). This is some strangeness of Leopard that I can't work out. My only thought is to add an alias into /etc/hosts.

And I have no idea why Leopard suddenly started doing this :-(

SANDRO NOEL  .local

is the default local domain

by default every Mac host will add that to it's host Name

it's normal.

MAXXXX  Hi,

I still have problem with Bonjour mounter when my MacBook Pro wakes up. It looses all mounts and sometimes is able to rediscover them but sometimes it does not. I will have to fiddle with going to the mount manually through finder and then BM will work again.

I also have a little request: It would be nice on some mounts to have an option for BM to send wakeUp (magic packets) signals so sleeping servers would wake up... (useful when trying to save energy)

Otherwise this app is going to the right direction and I love the frequency and speed of updates. Nice work!

Thx,

Max

SANDRO NOEL  Hey Maxxx

Sorry your experiencing wake up problems.

I've been getting that feedback from some other users as well and i'm looking into the problem, but to be honest, i cant reproduce the problem here, i do not know why, all my computers wake up and connect properly, i also have a laptop roaming in 3 different networks and BM connects to the right server every time without fail. i'm puzzelled.

As far as the magic packets are concerned, i'll look into it, it's an interesting feature. :)

thanks for the feedback!

Sandro.

DELHUX  It doesn't seems to work entirely. It does mount my specified mount points at login and when I manually tell the program to do so, but it fails to find servers when they have dropped and re-joined the network. The program will show a status of "online" for mounts that have dropped off (and are available again) but are not re-mounted. If I toggle the "online" status to "offline", the program will immediately re-mount the share in the Finder.

I would donate if the product worked, but it doesn't--not for me. All I want it to do is re-mount my specified mount points as they become available. I can add the mount point to my login items and manually reconnect using the Finder. The only functionality this app offers over the default OS is the ability to automatically detect and re-mount shares as they become available. Unfortunately, there is no Help system, no official web site (that I can find, anyway), and support (via email) is only for people who have donated.

I can't in good conscience donate to this program, because it acts like a scam. It has purported functionality, but I can only assume it is broken--or is it a brilliant way to get money from "Donors" rather than "Customers"? Curious. Not sure about the legal distinctions between the two, but the programmer may be absolved of any responsibility for his product's alleged functionality.

SANDRO NOEL  It's regretfull that you have a bad experience with BM.

I have not had the time to bring up a help file, or setup a site for BM until now

because I've been busy implementing new features in the software.

But it is being designed. and will show up at some point in the future.

As far as support goes I have always payed close attention to my users request.

if you would of tried to send an email instead of jumping the guns, and complaining like a school girl you probably would of gotten a reply within the hour.

BM Detects bonjour broadcasting servers only.

if your FTP server is not bonjour enabled, BM will not detect it's presence.

now will it do it for SMB servers that are not bonjour enabled.

thus the name "bonjour mounter"

----------------

If the software was a scam like you say, do you really think I would waste my time

begging for 10$ donations? PLEASE. I have better things to do.

I would charge 50$ for it and have you use the software only after you payed me, without a trail, or a preview like most software vendors do.

Donations are a way for people who enjoy the software to show the developer appreciation for it's work that is all, and honestly, I've gotten quite a bit of donations, to my greatest amazement.

PLEASE PLEASE by all means, if you do not like the software DELETE IT and move on.

I really do not care for your personal petty cash.

I will not be insulted by being called a fraud.

CMAUS@MAC.COM  I hae tried that app at school now.

But there appears one problem:

If I set the check box to "Launch at login", that won't happen.

I logged out, logged in again, but Bonjour Mounter did not start up.

When I launched it manually then, and looked back into the preferences, the checkbox was still activated. Then I looked into the Login Items in System Preferences, where Bonjour Mounter was not included in the list. I dragged it to the list and now, of course, it launches after the user logs in, as expected. But trying to achieve this using the built in preferences seems not to work!

I see this as a bug
