I am running a cross-platform application on the mac that should access a database I created on a pc server without risking first-line of security by being able to see the folder on the mac desktop. I just want the users to be able to use the program and not get tempted to browse into the folder. I am not happy with the network implementation of the Mac. With the PC I am able to set up a shared network folder and set up the preferences of my apps to be able to access the folders transparently and invisibly without anyone seeing where the actual location of the folder is. How can this be done on the Mac? I want to be able to access a windows shared folder from Macintosh OS but I do not want the volume to be mounted on the desktop for security reasons.

How can this be done on the Mac?
