Sending files with AFP like FTP?

Put simply, is there any way to send a file over AFP without obviously mounting the drive I want to send the file to? I'm working on a custom program right now, and I can't seem to figure out a way to make this happen without making the drive show up on the desktop.



I know of many FTP clients and programs that allow you to send files to the server without having an FTP drive show up, and I'm wondering if there's any way to replicate this behavior with the AFP protocol.

    well, mount_afp will let you mount with a -nobrowse flag, so you won't get a desktop icon. I'm sure there'll be a similar flag in whatever API your using.
