working in 2 locations - proper export
I work on scc and scd at work and sometimes at home. I haven't found a proper way to export the files so that they show up properly in both locations. Is there an easy way, or even a difficult way to do this properly? Right now when I open the exported shop none of the product images show and the design changes are not showing.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Save your shop files on a flash drive.

I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Thanks Eric - I did that (I wasn't talking about how to physically transport the files) but when I open them on the other computer none of the images show up and the formatting is gone. The images are still in the images folder, but the products just show blank empty frames.
If the images are missing that means you didn't copy everything in the _website folder to the drive.

I don't have a "_website" folder. When I export I get a "-server" folder. Is that what you meant? As far as copying it goes, there's not much danger that I screwed that up.
So, what I am doing here since it seems that it's very obvious to you guys that I'm doing something wrong, apparently you also work on these files in multiple locations without issue, is I go to File>Export Shop for Upload - that's how I get the -server folder. Please let me know how I go about getting the _website folder.
Also, after ftp'ing to my site, where it worked fine, I tried downloading that folder from my site and accessing that with the same results. I've actually tried this now 3 different ways.

Exporting is only used to get your data out of SCC for use on your server. It isn't to be used to transport your files from computer to computer. If you look on your computer you will find a file that ends in .SCC. This is the file you open each time you make changes to your shop. That file along with the folder with the same name is what you copy to the other computer.

great Scott, thanks. Now will that also include my theme info? Or do I need to save that in there as well?

The theme is your .SCT file. That is located in your Documents\CoffeeCup Software\Shopping Cart\Themes folder. You need to put that on each computer.
