[FX.php List] [off-topic] A Windows question...

A couple ways to do this:

- Allow FTP service on the Mac. That can be done within the Sharing
preferences on the Mac. Make sure it's public-facing and port 21 is open
on the firewall.

- Windows XP (all I have to test) can access Mac OS 10.4 without any
problems using the regular 'View Workgroup Computers' so as long as
login permissions are available. 

I don't think the second option above will work remotely though.

Here's a question that I think I can already answer, but:

In my brief stint on the Windows platform, I never connected to a  
Mac's drive. Is it possible, without any extra software, for a PC  
user to mount a Mac drive remotely?

I have a potential client for whom I may colocate a server, but she  
needs to mount it remotely, as will others in her office. It has  
suddenly dawned on me that I use Mac servers, and her office is  
probably filled with PCs. The server I'd use here wouldn't be an  
Intel Mac, by the way.

Is it possible for a PC user to mount a Mac drive across the  
Internet? I'm assuming it's not possible, but perhaps I'm missing  
something...

Thanks,

Bob Patin
