This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but I would take a look at Linux-based NAS. I recently got a Buffalo LinkStation that can do everything on your list, but depending on your requirements a TeraStation might make more sense for you - http://www.buffalotech.com/products/network-storage/. If you want to consider Buffalo, take a look at http://buffalo.nas-central.org/index.php/ . There are two main options for opening up the software on the NAS. You can keep the stock firmware and add softare on top of it, or you can move to new firmware and run a different Linux distribution on it - I run Debian. Anyway, I know that there are other similar products out there - the Linksys NSLU2 is a popular one - but a NAS might do what you want. Or depending on your needs, you culd problably just use samba, ssh, and cron to set it on an old box that you have lying around. -- Jim Crumley |Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List (TCLUG) Ruthless Debian Zealot |http://www.mn-linux.org/ Never laugh at live dragons |
