If your clients where you are accessing the data from are all linux, then setting up nfs (network file system) is probably what you are looking for. If you have any windows machines that need to access the data, then samba is your tool. The client machines can then be configured to view/access the exported mount points as if they were just another local disk. > Also when I connect a photo card is it possible to Ubuntu to > automatically pull in the photos to a particular location and store by > date please? This can be done with a bit of scripting, having a look at http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9311 or http://www.techpository.com/?page_id=1052 might give you some interesting ideas. Depending on what sort of files your camera produces, having a look at the exif* packages and the tools within, will allow you to dump image metadata, which would be used to sort and automatically categorize the files. To make it easy to identify when the memory cards are inserted, you might format them with a recognizable file system label, which would make them automatically show up as /media/myLabel If you choose a consistant naming scheme, then this can be used by the udev rule/script. thanks, Mesar
