Set print or export file problem

[Doug Easterbrook]

hi Ben.

when you go into terminal, and do a    cd /volumes


what do you see?


It may be where you established the SMB share that is getting you.



if you do a CD into a network share, you might get asked by terminal if you want to allow terminal to access to shared directories.   I’m using sequoia and its pretty persnickety into which applications can access network drives.


If yo, you may need to allow drive access for omnis in system preferences.   look for 'full disk access' in Privacy and security settings and see that omnis has access to do that.

I suspect that /Volumes is one of those sacred places as far as apple security is concerned.   you might hurt yourself going to a network volume and pull/copy some nasty virus off another machine:)
