Should have the server "on" all the time?

Hi,
I would like to know if I have to leave my computer on all the time if I put the serveur solution on my computer? Or do we have a kind of cloud solution with it?
Many thanks for your help.

If you are changing a workstation to a server and plan to use it both ways, the day to day user of that workstation will see slowdowns to some extent because of the server activity.
If you plan to have the computer turned off then you may want to look at file sharing hosts on the web if that type of service exists.
Otherwise this can be done relatively easily.
Set up the file sharing on the server.  Leave it on.  That way if you do what follows, anyone with proper access can get to the files at any time they might need it.
Put the items to be shared in a "shared" folder in the server and set up the permissions for that folder to only allow access to the people you want.
Set up VPN access for people off of the network to securely get into the network and server.  This step may be handled by a router or a router may need to be set up to port forward VPN connections to your server.
This way a secure VPN is set up, the user outside of the network can connect to the server, and get the files needed at any time.

  • Before switching to IMAP - what if the server loses all the email?

    Just in case...
    Supposing I had all my email on a server and used IMAP. Also assume I am "keeping local copies" on my Mac.
    If I connect and the server, for some reason, has lost all my email...what happens? Does Mail sync with the server and delete all my cached email? Or does the server repopulate with what is on my Mac?

    If Keep copies of messages for offline viewing is set to All messages and their attachments (the default setting), then Mail 2.x maintains a local copy of server-stored mailboxes using the exact same format it uses for locally stored mailboxes, except the suffix of the mailbox folder in the filesystem is .imapmbox instead of .mbox.
    Having a backup of your ~/Library/Mail folder would allow you to restore your Mail as follows if something like that happens:
    1. Copy the entire ~/Library/Mail/IMAP-username@mailserver account folder from the backup to the Desktop.
    2. Change the .imapmbox suffix of the folders within the account folder on the Desktop to .mbox.
    3. In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, and follow the instructions to import the copy of the account folder that’s on the Desktop.
    Note, however, that this was not the case in Mail 1.x. Mail 1.x used different formats to store local mailboxes and to cache IMAP mailboxes, and wasn’t able to import its own cached IMAP mailboxes, although it would still be possible to do that using a third-party utility such as Emailchemy to convert the cached mailboxes to standard mbox format.

  • When bluetooth headset is connected to iphone,I can't hear iphone ringing aloud when I have a call or a text. Do i really have to wear the bluetooth headset all the time in my ear to know when I have a call or a message? Why it doesnt ring through iphone?

    when bluetooth headset is connected to iphone,I can't hear iphone ringing aloud when I have a call or a text. Do i really have to wear the bluetooth headset all the time in my ear to know when I have a call or a message? Why it doesnt ring through iphone but it rings through the bluetooth headsets?
    In other phones, you can hear the phone ringing and if it was connected to bluetooth, you could pick up the call from the bluetooth headset.
    Here with iphone, if its connected to bluetooth headset, it only rings through the headset, which means that if you dont have the headset in the ear all the time, you cannot know that you have an incoming call or message.
    Any ideas - solutions - comments please?

    I'm having the same problem. I had a plantronics 975 (which I lost, sadly). When connected, the ringer would always be routed through the bluetooth and the iPhone's external speaker. When in silent mode, the iPhone would only vibrate, but I could still hear the ringer in the bluetooth.
    I just bought a new Plantronics Voyager+. Now when it's connected, all sounds are routed to the earpiece - including the taps, etc. The iPhone's speaker doesn't ring at all, unless the bluetooth is disconnected or powered off. I'd really like to be able to hear both, like I was before. This is an iPhone 3G running iOS 4 (latest version, not sure what it is exactly). Haven't updated software/firmware in between bluetooths, just changed the earpiece.

  • I have an apple iphone 4gs... It is synced with my outlook exchange in the office. If I do a search for emails that also checks the server then all of a sudden I end up with various amounts unread email with the inbox saying "Inbox 71" ..which is not true

    I have an apple iphone 4gs... It is synced with my outlook exchange in the office. If I do a search for emails that also checks the server then all of a sudden I end up with various amounts unread email with the inbox saying "Inbox 71" ..which is not true. The only way to make the inbox on the iphone back to 0 is to delete the account then re install it.
    Anyone have any ideas

  • I frequently use Lightroom 3.6 for tethered capture on location. If I sign up for Adobe cloud and upgrade to Lightroom 5, do I have to be online all the time to use it? In other words, can I still use the program off-line?

    I frequently use Lightroom 3.6 for tethered capture on location. If I sign up for Adobe cloud and upgrade to Lightroom 5, do I have to be online all the time to use it? In other words, can I still use the program off-line?

    Yes.
    The only difference is the installation method and the ownership verification. The program still is installed on and runs from your local machine. You only have to hook up to the internet every 60-90 days to verify ownership.
    From the FAQ
    Do I need to be online to access my desktop apps?
    No, the desktop applications in Creative Cloud, such as Photoshop and Illustrator, are installed directly on your computer, so you don’t need an ongoing Internet connection to use them.
    An Internet connection is required the first time you install and license your apps, but you can use the apps in offline mode with a valid software license. The desktop apps will attempt to validate your software licenses every 30 days.
    Annual members can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode. Month-to-month members can use the software for up to 30 days in offline mode."

    It is amazing that Apple does nothing about this.  It used to work before but this function (keep me logged in) stopped working a couple of months ago.  Many people seem to have the same problem but Apple seems unable to solve their own problems...

  • I have the iPhone 4S. Since I updated to the iOS 6 my phone keeps freezing and the apps crash all the time. Sometimes it freezes up to a minute. And there's no way of fixing that. Is apple going to fix this? I'm not the only one having this problem.

    You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.
    Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4)

  • Should I run my battery all the way down the first time I use my new Macbook Pro?

    I just received a new Pro. Is it better to let the battey run all the way down on the first use? Should I charge it all the way up and then let it run all the way down? Does either make any difference? Thanks.

    That is definitely not required.

  • We have a very big issue here, Patch Tuesday didn't work correctly yesterday, and the patches took all the free drive space away.

    Hello
    We have a very big issue here, Patch Tuesday didn't work correctly yesterday, and the patches took all the free drive space away.
    Before we started with the Patches, we had one Gig of free space on our hard drive, now we are down to less than 10 Megs!!!
    What happened is that the patches didn't work, we had to try them 7 times, and every time they created a 'temporary restore point' which we don't know where that point is.
    The server has crashed twice since, we were able to place it back online but we're afraid it will crash again.
    We have several customers on that server, we are very worried,
    Can you please help us?
    Thank you

  • Changed server and all the old messages are gone in thunderbird

    We moved the server location for the imap and smtp server for a given domain name (domain name server changed)
    We are now receiving and sending email ok but the old messages from that domain name are now gone.
    We have a second computer that also run mozilla and has the old messages if that is helpful.
    What is the easiest method to get the old messages back?
    And is there anyway to avoid the same problem when we switch domain name servers on the other computer?

    <blockquote>

    I suppose that means you changed the IMAP server name for an existing account.
    <blockquote>
    the old messages from that domain name are now gone.
    </blockquote
    With IMAP all messages are managed on the server. So what you see is exactly the expected behavior.
    In order to preserve your messages you should have moved the messages from the old server to your local disc prior to changing to the new server.
    <blockquote>

    Restoring a backup.
    <blockquote>

    </blockquote>
    I don't understand that. Once your domain has been moved to the new provider, the mail server of the previous provider isn't reachable anymore. So basically you do have the same problem on the 'other computer'. The reason you still do see messages there probably is that the old server isn't reachable anymore.
    The question is whether you just see the headers or the entire messages. In the latter case you probably told Thunderbird to download an offline copy (synchronization). Please confirm.
