Is it possible to work on a site using two non-networked computers? I’ve built a site at work, but I want to be able to update it from my personal laptop with the same access and capabilities as on my computer at work.

You can store the FW file and associated media files on DropBox or similar and use DB to sync these files with your 2 computers.
I dont think I would try to work from a file stored in a cloud unless it was a pretty lightweight doc.

I’m not sure what you’re asking, viz…

That’s what I thought. Thanks for your info. I was hoping to have one copy and somehow sync them. Using dropbox would be scary. Too many files to keep track of.
Thanks for the help. Freeway has many advantages, but this is not one of them.

You could store the work files on a removable flash drive and transport that from machine to machine. That would eliminate duplicates as long as you only worked from the flash drive and not copy the files elsewhere.
The published site files (not the original Freeway file) can be anywhere they can be uploaded from.

I use a lot of pretty big image files, hundreds, so that probably wouldn’t work. right?

I bought a little 320GB 7200 RPM FIreWire-powered drive at the Apple
store for $129 a few months ago. It’s very tiny and cute. (There are
even cheaper drives out there, mostly USB2 and bulkier, but you get
what you pay for. I use it for audio recording since it’s fan-less and
thus silent. )
That would be my recommendation. SneakerNet still beats the cloud for
some things.

I use a small size 500GB, Lacie firewire hard drive. I cloned my studio hard drive using a free application called “Carbon Copy Cloner” -Mac Backup Software | Carbon Copy Cloner | Bombich Software This way I have all applications, fonts, design elements,file, etc. in a small portable hard drive. I just restart my home computer from the system on the small hard drive and I work with the same computer so to speak- nothing is missing. All you have to do is transfer at the end of the day your new work on the small drive, replacing or keeping a copy of the previous day’s work. It works for me.

I completely screwed up my DropBox for several days by uploading my Apple “Mail” folder. It must have well over 100,000 files and DropBox didn’t like that at all!
Now I know I have to compress the folder and upload it that way.
P.s. I just discovered that it’s not enough simply to transfer my Freeway site folders. I also have to have the home → library → Application Support → (Freeway 5) folder in place on the other computer!
