I can see how bandwidth would be the great limiter though. Have some thoughts how this could be mitigated; need to think about it. Thanks Tom, very interesting.

Install FolderShare from Microsoft (http://www.foldershare.com) - a free online file syncing service. Multiple PCs can be set to share the same folder(s) on a PC, and the folders are synced whenever each is running the FolderShare app and are connected to the Internet. 2. Use your tethered shooting script to send photos directly to the laptop, say in a folder called ' Tethered'. 3. Make sure you direct FolderShare to share that same folder. As photo files appear in that directory, the FolderShare app will send them to the other computers. I use this tool through the firewall at work (obviously I have to use the proxy server here) to share files with other workers as needed. I don't have to drag files to a different application, I don't have to remember to sync - it's all done as soon as I put a file in a given directory on my PC. Files are only available to those with your username/password, or you can specifiy a folder to be shared with friends with a different username/password. Obviously, for photo files, especially RAW or TIFF - this works best with a FAST, FAT pipe to the Internet. - Tom For shooting straight into another computer – anywhere in the world – I suggest this trick., It requires an Internet connection, but if you don’t have one right away while you’re shooting, the sync can still happen automagically when you next connect to the Internet:
