Had to make these little scripts today.

No warranties for this, just thought it may help somebody out.
Script contents below:
#!/bin/bash defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles NO killall Finder && open /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app
You may need to chmod +x to get these to run.

We often have requests from small business customers as to which is the best backup solution when having more than one user, and also when the users are located in different geographical locations. Well Pogo Plug may be the answer to this problem. It allows you to attach and share as many storage devices as you wish and also allows users to drag and drop files, making moving files across a remote network straight forward. Therefore you could have a large central storage unit for your users to access and back up their files.
