Re: Mac connecting to shared folder on Windows server

Thanks Bill!

I just realized there was a response to my question. You'll have to
forgive my ignorance on this subject matter, but are the 2 programs you
suggested applications that would be installed on our Macs or on the
windows server. If on our Macs, does anything need to be done on the
server side. How do I determine which protocol (smb or afp) does that
depend on how the server is
set-up? I know in our entourage mail settings we put in smb before server
name to connect to the exchange when in the office.

Currently to connect to the Data & Home folders on the server we select
the name of our server from the finder window under shared tab then enter
our user name & password - we don't use any other software. Are you
suggesting this may be reason for the size limit?

Also, a new but related question:
I spend most of my time outside the office & need to remotely connect to
these shared folders on the server. Do I need special software for that as
well? I tried using "Connect to server" from the Go menu. For server
address I entered smb://(servername)/data but the server could not be
located. I can get to the data folder using a ftp client (Cute ftp) but my
boss wants to be able to access it the same way she would when she is in
the office (understanding the connection will be slower). I know this
should be possible but how? This is all very new to me.

Thanks again for your help - it is much appreciated!
