However, when endeavoring to generate a link to a particular file, via this syntax: smb://servername/SomeFolder/AnotherFolder/FileToShare.mp4. It does not work. When the recipient hit it off on the link, Finder come into view to mount an empty fabricated volume called SomeFolder/AnotherFolder/FileToShare.mp4, containing no files.
