Original question at bottom.

Many people suggested Netatalk, a bunch suggested CAP, and there were a few other products mentioned (all URLs are listed below). This is not OS X, so I can't just use NFS, and I don't believe upgrading is an option because Protools doesn't run on OS X. A few people mentioned Stuffit/Binhex. Unfortunately, it isn't quite that easy, because there are 17GB of files scattered around a dozen or so directories -- it's a mess of a filesystem, and apparently, from what I'm told, stuffit has a 2GB file limit, which makes it a pain to deal with. I'm going to try CAP and Netatalk today.
