[QUOTE="TattooedMac, post: 1616239, member: 101749"] Ok. I have never been big into the Networking and Server side of computing, and this is about one of the only things, where there isn't a lot online about "How to Set up a Server". Apple have stopped making the Mac Mini Server, so I'm out of luck there, so I'm looking for some answers. I mucked around a few years ago with Snow Leopard, and I remember when I set the server up on my main MBP, I started having issues with it, with everything out of sync, it never played nice when I did normal surfing on it, it played havoc with my network (something with setting a Static IP on my MBP) and it was a disaster, to the point I had to do a clean install of SL. 1. Can I set up a Server on a Ext HD running off my iMac with a USB3 cable ?? 2. Will it work if I set it up as WebDAV and FTP ?? 3. Will I be able to host my own Website on it ?? 4. Is it easier to set up than it was 4 yrs ago ?? As you can see, I'm clueless. I primarily want it set up with WebDAV and FTP as I do a lot of work on my MBP and want to be able to transfer files to and from without being encumbered. As I said, there isn't a great deal online so any info would help, but mainly Q1, will it work on a Ext HD off my iMac ?? Cheers [/QUOTE]
