[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1331905, member: 38864"] Oh heck no. You can add any remote server that OS X can connect to. With Finder selected, select [I]Go[/I] from the menubar, then [I]Connect to Server…[/I], punch in the server address (it supports afp, ftp, sftp, smb, and maybe a couple others), then hit Connect. You'll get a prompt for a username and password, but you can store it in the keychain. Once you are connected, just go to a subfolder and add it to the sidebar. Try it with this one: [url]ftp://ftp.cs.brown.edu/[/url] Enter that exact address using [I]Connect to Server…[/I] and log in as Guest. Once in, drag the [I]pub[/I] subdirectory to your Finder sidebar, under Favorites. Disconnect from the server, then click on that new sidebar item. You'll be prompted to connect again. You should be able to do exactly this with your own server. [/QUOTE]
