Hi all,
I have been trying to work my way through this using the help files. IIS
is
installed,in fact has been for some time, so I got up to these directions:

"For example, if your Web server is registered with the WINS server as
"Admin1",
in the Address box you type: http://admin1/tsweb/, and then press ENTER.
The
Remote Desktop Web Connection page appears on the screen."

What I want to know is, how do I find out what my web server is is
registered
as? I am running a D-link router which informs me that my WAN IP address
is
such-and-such, is that number of any help? (I don't normally turn this PC
off,
so if I do that number may change, I guess I can figure that out by
experiment.)

Thanx,
-plh

Is there any particular reason you want to use the web based method?

Help for the regular non-web based method...

Hello Al,
Thank you, I will definitely look at that.
The reason I wanted to use the web based method is that I wanted to temporarily
open a two folders on my PC to the web in such a way that my son could copy
pictures from one and load pictures on to another. Our computers are on opposite
sides of this continent. There are too many to email in any practical way nor
will they fit on my web site as a ZIP file. (As I am writing I am loading them
but I doubt that it will succeed.)
Even if that were possible that would not solve the upload problem. Of course we
could mail CDs, but where is the fun in that? I saw the default FTP feature in
the Administrative Tools / Internet Information Services, I wanted to find out
is that was the way to do it (allow uploading). Once done then I could take the
whole thing down, for obvious safety reasons.
The question I have with using the Web remote desktop is: Can I restrict him to
those folders, the way I can with the people who are on the home network (D-Link
DI-624)? I guess so because I notice I have to specifically set up folders to
allow web sharing: I am assuming for now that is connected to the use of IIS,
however, as of this writing, I have not finished reading the instructions on the
link you so kindly sent.
Thank You,
-plh
