Since i can't use a server and client on the same machine, i'm doing something like
why not?
Actually, the server stores file- and metadata seperately, i.e., if your coda-root were /home/httpd/htdocs, you would only find files named 1, 2, 3, etc.server: using /home/httpd/htdocs client: using /coda/server1/home/httpd/htdocs
both will read and write to files.
