It most cases once it is copied, it is on the server (whether you can use it or not is a different story, Windows style file locking can generate its own form of grief :-) )... I dont think you can relate a client server network connection to a removable media device, the server should be aware of what is connected to it and negotiate a clean disconnect with connected clients when shutting down... AFAIK the intelligent(?) USB stick has not yet been made :-) However, we are talking real world and what is likely to happen is a bit more complex than that, depends whether you are talking to a Windows or Samba server, what the cacheing setup is and some other factors ... if the client for any reason does not negotiate quickly enough the server will pull the plug and the result could be messy but I doubt whether a client end umount would avoid that particular problem... > Thanks lots! > Ron - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
