Hi All,

I've just swapped ISPs, and my new ISP is offering (to their Windows customers) an iDisk like capablity ("remote folders" or something like that).

I'm running OSX 10.3.x, and I was wondering if I could take advantage of whatever protocol the server is using to also have "remote folders" (great for backup, sharing, all that iDisk stuff).

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,

Chas

This might be a better question to ask your ISP, since we don't know either of the following...

#1. Who the ISP is.
#2. What they offer

Thusly, your question cannot be answered.

Well, I'm going to be educating the ISP in the wonders of Mac, so they're not going to be a ton of help in that area (s'why I came here, natch!).

They're running MSoft SBS and Exchange Server. I looked into how integrated Entourage is with Exchange. Answer: not much (not that I want to start using Entourage anyways).

Hope that this info is at east a start, any ideas?

Thanks,

Chas
