Title: Media Server and Copying Images
Post by: sraymond on December 12, 2002, 07:08:12 pm
I'm playing with Media Server and I'm wondering if there's an ability to do the following:

If I've set up the server so that someone can access my library via the internet (which I've done with little problem), is there a way for them to then remotely copy one or more of my images?

What I'm thinking is that this would be a cool way of sharing my digital photos with the rest of my family.  Sure, I could upload to a website that hosts photos, or I could set up an FTP server...  but Media Server seems a very elegant way of doing this.  That, and the fact that it would involve little to no work on my part (I wouldn't have to upload photos all the time).

I tried to do this, but it seems there's no way for the remote end to find the actual image file (i.e. *.jpg) and then copy.  The only thing they can do is make the playing now the background.

Am I missing something, or isn't this possible?

Thanks in advance.
