Why not samba for Win, and netatalk for Macs?
I have a server here in the office that has a globally shared
diretory: Samba, AppleShare, NFS, FTP, HTTP. It is a blessing in a
multi-platfor operation.
There a programs that let Mac users see Win shares and vice versa,
and I have seen NFS for the Mac.
Has anyone had any experience with coda? I have heard vague good
things about it as a replacement for NFS et. al.
