Ahar, I didn't see my post show up on the list until you quoted it Rob. iDisk is an Apple thing - it's basically FTP space on an Apple server somewhere that anyone who has a .mac account gets. The way one accesses it is by simply clicking on iDisk in the menubar and a window opens and you just drag and drop straight from your computer to the iDisk. Account holders have a Public folder that is not password protected and so is available for anyone to see and retrieve files. More info: <http://www.mac.com/1/idisknewfeatures.html> it says you can access them from a Windows computer: Connecting to someone's Public folder using Windows You can open a .Mac member's Public folder to see and copy files. To access someone's Public folder, you need to know the person's member name and Public folder password (if the Public folder is password-protected). To open someone's Public folder: If you're using Windows XP, use iDisk Utility for Windows XP. To download iDisk Utility for Windows XP, go to www.mac.com, and click .Mac Downloads. If you're using Windows 2000, open My Computer, choose Map Network Drive from the Tools menu, then click "Web folder or FTP site." Enter the following as the location to add: http://idisk.mac.com/membername-Public? (where "membername" is the other person's .Mac member name). If a password is required, enter "public" in the User Name field, and then enter the Public folder password in the Password field. If you're using Windows 98, open My Computer, double-click the Web Folders icon, then double-click Add Web Folder. Enter the following as the location to add: http://idisk.mac.com/membername-Public? (where "membername" is the other person's .Mac member name). If a password is required, enter "public" in the User Name field, and then enter the Public folder password in the Password field. ------------------------------- my username is cottycam Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
