[quote Dennis R]That is the main problem. It won't be any faster from the public folder. Your computer still has to send it out at the same speed. The advantage to sending it to other sites is the fact that whoever you are sending it to can download it much faster or multiple people can download it and You only have to send it once.
I don't care how long it takes them to download it. And they're the only people I want to access it. If it's in my Public Folder and I just email them a link so they can access it, the only time it's taking me is the 5 seconds to copy it into my Public Folder.
chas, the CD would be fine, but uploading isn't that slow. :-)
I'm reading through the Help files and their help isn't terribly helpful. Or is it really as simple as checking the box for FTP access in System Preferences>File Sharing? Then I just send the client the ftp address and they'll be able to access only my Public Folder?
