Hello all,
Little question here. I have an old Power Mac G4 (AGP Graphics) that I want to resurrect as a simple backup and file server for my edit suite. Pretty much I'm going to set up Chronosync to sync a backup drive to my 3 workstations overnight. But during the working hours I want to make it a little file server to share and store data the entire office can access.
I have an internal drive I want one username (a non-admin account) that I will give to everyone so they can access various folders on the hard drive. Some folders I want them to have read-only access, other folders they can have full read & write. Plus I have an admin account that I want it to have full access to everything (which I don't think will be a problem). Then my idea is just to create aliases in the docks of the workstations that anyone can mount the shared folder(s).
Permissions have always confused me over the years, and I can't seem to get the right combo of "Owner, Group & Others" settings. If anyone could give me any suggestions I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
