Re: Access files remotely

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

As Herb siad, you can access your files with a VPN. You
could also use FTP or Remote Desktop (= terminal server).

There is no need to have a static IP address. You can register
a free domain name with companies such as www.dyndns.com
theat will track your dynamic IP address.

In the new Windows home server they say that you would be able to access
files while on the road and like upload photos and download them etc from
any
computer that has internet. By like going to the ip address or personal
live
domain. I was just wondering if Windows 2003 has that option where I would
be
able to access my files and upload and download files. But I'm guessing in
order to do that I would have to setup an FTP, right? But I believe in
order
to setup and FTP I need to have a static IP with my internet proivder and
not
a dynamic where it constantly changes. am I correct with this?

Is there any way to access files stored on a server running 2003
remotely
while I am out of town? Something like what the new Windows Home
Server
will
be able to do.

Yes, but I don't know the "new Windows home server" or at least which
feature you are referencing.

You can access resources on any Windows box if a couple of things
correct: you can route to the location (on the correct ports or
generically
using a VPN or dial up), authenticate (domain or machine), and if you
have
the correct permissions.

In general, this means you can get to the same things you can
access when ON the network, IF you can reach them when
coming in remotely.

How would you physically get to the network?
