Hello all!
My main area of expertise is with Linux and Windows. I dont know much about Macs, which is why Im here.
I have a new client who owns a Mac w/ OS X. These may seem like silly questions, but I dont own a Mac and dont have access to one to figure this stuff out.
I need to set her up so she can connect remotely to a Server 2k3 machine at her office. I know that there is a Remote Desktop Connection client for OS X, but she needs to be able to send files which are on occasion fairly large, to and from the server remotely. I cant find any documentation that states wether or not you can do this from within the Remote Desktop Connection client. Is this possible?
Also, when she is at her office she needs to be able to access local shared drives/peripherals on Win2k/XP workstations and and the server which is running Server 2k3. I know about Mac OS X Panther, but she runs a non-profit organization which is just starting up, so funds are obviously very limited. Are there any third party apps that you guys can recommend? Keep in mind that she needs to access the Windows based machines, but the Windows based machines do not need to access her Mac.
The last question is probably a fairly simple one. Whenever she goes to an unfamiliar wireless network, her Airport card can never seem to detect a signal. Is there a way to set up her Airport card so it automatically searches for new wireless networks or does she have to manually add a new network every time she needs to access an unfamiliar network? Keep in mind the solution needs to be as hassle-free as possible because she knows less about Macs than I do.
Thanks in advance for any advice you have to offer.
