Hello, I have a chance to get rent a server for a month with some programs I want to test out. I’m not familiar with how exactly this works so I’m hoping I’m posting in the right place to ask a question.
Below is the ad
I will put you on my server with adobe Photoshop,Illustrator,After Effects,media all are cs5.5 or cs5.1, licenced versions. Server is win 7 ultimate with super highspeed internet 50mbs up and down. You get your own account, 24x7 access, the ability to mount your own local drives.
I assume I will log in and have access to the scripts. What I don’t understand in the ad where it says: “the ability to mount your own local drives”. Could someone explain what that means in laymen terms. I guess I want to make sure I’m not stepping into something that could hurt my local computer.
First, whatever he is doing likely isn’t legal – even if you can login to the win7 machine remotely to use these packages, they don’t sell multi-user licenses that allow one to use this server in this manner. Win7’s remote access isn’t that multi-user friendly.
I’m guessing the mount your own local drives bit lets you connect your local drives to the sever when logged in. This is a feature of terminal services / remote desktop that works pretty seamlessly, except these drives are remote and I wouldn’t want to be working on graphics files in that manner unless I had really fast connections involved but I wouldn’t expect that to be the case here.
