A server provides services to other computers, which are known as clients. A file server provides files to other computers. In this case, the Cube is providing files to the PowerBook; therefore, the Cube is the Server, the PowerBook is the Client. Once the Cube's hard drive is mounted on the desktop of the PowerBook, you can transfer files either way really. You can drag files from the Cube onto the PowerBook or from the PowerBook onto the Cube. Caveat here is that you won't be able to effectively move System files from the PowerBook to the Cube. -- Jeremy Derr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Low End Macs - G-Books "ListNanny" Any statements herein represent my opinion and do not represent those of my employer.
