[QUOTE="matt673, post: 1321349, member: 221724"] Hey guys, I'm not sure if I'm calling this the right thing so I'll just spell out exactly how I'm wanting this to work. I co-own a small creative production company. My business partner and I are in different states, but we often share files. If they're small we just send over iChat, and if they're big we upload them to Amazon's S3 service(really great, btw). But, here's the thing, I've got an older G5(single 1.8) sitting in my closet. It runs great and I'd like to use it as a way for us to share bigger stuff(and as an archive/backup) since I can stuff it full of drives for cheap. Best case scenario is that he would be able to mount it as a network drive via Finder's connect to server command. At the moment I've got my home network [URL="https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1dr_GQV9aJQYIHTL1FhbbkwyWCiYc1QNKCFdUQ5VPsXU/edit?hl=en_US"]setup like this[/URL].
