I have a client with about 25 gigs of photos stored on their LAN.  They now 
have a designer working in another state who needs access to the photos for use 
in brochures and a web site.  The designer works on a Mac while the clients 
system is using Microsoft Server 2003 with XP workstations.  
 
My initial thought was to use remote desktop access but I don't know if this 
can be done from a Mac.  Another possibility is Logmein.  Perhaps someone has a 
recommendation.
 
The ultimate solution appears to be storing the images in the cloud.  Here is 
my feature wish list:

Stepped costs that scale to space in use
Access control to manage access to the photos
Batch upload to allow copying an entire folder at a time
Provision for assigning tags either at upload or at a later editing step
Retrieval of a list of thumbnails based on one or more specified tags
Selections for actual download from the thumbnails
An integrated sizing capability on download that allows the user to specify the 
appropriate resolution
An integrated cropping capability on download that allows the user to specify 
the area of the original as well as the resolution
Logging of image use by user 
I doubt that my client's needs are unique or that I am the first to envision 
such a system but I don't have the time to research what is available right 
now.  Any help?
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Joe
