I paid $254 from Other World Computing for 2GB of ram for my MacBook. This was on Nov. 1. Dunno if the Mini uses the same ram as the MacBook....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Can the Mac OS X Finder connect to an FTP server?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
tommyrot - Can the Mac OS X Finder connect to an FTP server?
Yup! In the finder, keystroke Apple(command)+K You will get a little dialog box. Type in the ftp:// site and click Connect. Some "candy caning" will ensue, then viola, the site will be a finder window on your desktop. as well as a star globe in a box icon on your desktop to double click to open should you accidently close the window.
If you go back to the Apple+K again, you will notice on the right side a "+". With the FTP site in the address bar, when you click that, it will save it, so you can easily access it later.
Jon B. - What's the rough cost to buy 2GB of memory to upgrade a Mac Mini?
Jon, I've never cracked a Mini open, but I hear it's a bit of a pain. If you take the plunge, I'd say it's worth the money to have the RAM upgrade pre-installed.

Thanks for the tip....

I have one of the first G4 Minis, and cracking it open was unbelieveably easy. You do need the correct tools - I used two putty knives with relatively sharp edges.

OK, I attached an ftp server to Finder. Now I can read stuff, but not write. Even though the user I'm logged in as has read/write rights.
I can attach to the same server via Windows Explorer in XP, and I can read and write just fine.

MM. Well, I don't do FTP all that much. Maybe try going into the System Pref's (under Apple drag down). Select Network. Go to Configure for the port that you connect to the net. Select Proxies. Check the FTP proxy. Enter in some data for the server. See if that works.
Again, not something I normally do. Just guessing. Maybe someone else in the hive can give better instructions.
Good luck.

A computer made with Tinker-Toys. It plays tic-tac-toe.
"A Tinkertoy framework called the read head clicks and clacks its way down the front of the monolith At some point the clicking mysteriously stops; a "core piece" within the framework spins and then with a satisfying "'kathunk' indirectly kicks an 'output duck,' a bird-shaped construction. The output duck swings down from its perch so that its beak points at a number- which identifies the computer's next move in a game of tic-tac-toe."
Wow, that was way ahead of its time. Even now, very few computers have output ducks.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I've seen it! It's on display at the Museum of Science in Boston.

The structure changed dramatically with the Intel minis. They are a pain in the ass to open and install RAM. I did it, but I seriously had to go back in at least five additional times because it wasn't working properly, due to the configuration of the parts in the machine with the changes. They purposefully made it exceedingly difficult for non-Apple technicians to install such basic things as RAM. The cynic in me believes its so they could make more money selling overpriced RAM themselves.
Jon, I added a second email address to GMail. Boy is it useful.
