... or use folder alias
Authored by: MrWinther on Oct 29, '02 04:52:24PM

I dont have enough space on my ibook for some mp3 files. So I put them on my wifes Imac. I put them in a folder called "Music on Imac".
Then I just made an alias, copied it over to the ibook, deleted the alias on the Imac.
All I have to do now on the ibook is doubleclick the alias and it automaticly opens. :-)

... or use folder alias

I do much the same to mount a folder on my Windows XP Pro box. After connecting to the folder I have set up for sharing on the Windoze box I make an alias of the mounted volume. You can leave it on the desktop and double-click to mount it or put it in a folder called shared volumes and then drag that folder to the dock for a simple point and shoot to mount any shared volume no matter what app is running. I usually share three folders on the PC, one for MP3 or media files, one for a redundant backup of important documents and a general shared folder for shooting stuff back and forth.
