David,
I'd suggest you look into installing the image editing software on the
server, and use Remote Desktop or similar to connect from the laptop.
Then you don't have to move the files at all.

Subject: Moving large image files through a LAN
I place my *ist-DS's image files on a network file server at home
(yup, I'm one of those guys). From there, my wife and I use our
notebooks to view, edit, resize, post, email, and print our images.
Our fileserver is connected to the network with cat-5 and a full
duplex 100BaseT NIC. But our notebooks from which we do all our work
are connected wirelessly with 802.11g wifi cards (56Mbps).
We have ourselves a bottleneck, paarticularly when we're batch
resizing to post online.
I'm wondering if anyone here has used anything faster than 56Mbps
wifi cards (standard 802.11g). I'm not sure I'm all that anxious to
upgrade my router and two wifi cards, but if I can open up that
network bottleneck significantly I'll consider it. Any
recommendations?
Dave
