I'm glad it works for you! > My question is: Does the server/protocol support multiple simultaneous > connections? Absolutely, yes. > If so, should I try to avoid accessing the same files from both clients? Definitely. While operating multiple clients simultaneously on one server is no problem at all, writing to the *same* file at the same time from two different clients is almost guaranteed to wreck things up. Simultaneous reads, of course, are no trouble.
