No. It actually connects in much the same way as Firebird. You do not need
to share the database folder. It broadcasts a server name which the client
searches for to connect. You don't even need to point to the server by name
or IP. The client will find it for you.

By the way the reason I'm moving to FB is because of licensing issues with a
very small application I have.

Just out of curiosity: does Sybase SQL Anywhere allow such database
usage?
