Eric Mittman thanks
They are.
In my case I want both the desktop and laptop to be my dev machines so that I can work from either at will.
And the mini will be my testing server.
Since I am the only one using DW and I wouldn't & couldn't use two copies concurrently on the same site would this be possible?
Would it be correct to assume that Mamp on my dev machines would need to point to the directory on the mini?
How and where would I set privileges…
At this point this is all still very unclear to me, so please pardon the nature of my questions. I'll get there eventually.
Your help is appreciated.
Mick
