if the user is not tech savvy I would go with the usb key and synctoy
synctoy is a nice little free utility from MS that will allow them to sync
with the pen back and forth.
At home he works on the usb key and when he gets back to work runs synctoy.
on the end of the day, synctoy again to put things on the pen.

I've got an interesting scenerio and I'm not sure of the best say to
handle
it. I have and SBS 2003 R2 Std server with several XP Pro clients. For
one
of these clients they want the ability to work on files either locally or
remotely since they are part time in/out of the office. I know the easy
answer is RWW to connect to network then to internal XP client but the
only
problem is the files they work on are Autocad type of files and doing and
RWW
using Autocad is nothing short of horrible.
Ideally if they could take the files home with them and work on (in an
Autocad on a home machine not joined to to the domain) them then back into
the office and update the office local then it works great. But that
leaves
it up to the user to remember to USB Key the files or even RWW from home
and
transfer the files. This can also work but can be slow.
The ultimate is if I could place a folder on their home machine that is an
off-line/sync folder with a folder on the server. If they VPN into the
SBS
network then just sync the folder (either manually or by scheduling at the
end of every day) then there would be synced copies at home and at work.
They work on a file at work.... go home and sync so a copy of the file is
on
the home computer.... work on the file... sync again to update the work
computer.... go back into the office and pick up where they left off.
This user is not technically savvy so I'm trying to come up with an easy
solution in order for them to work at home and in the office with both
places
syncing with the latest and greatest data files.
What are peoples thoughts on how to handle this? What are the steps to
set
up the VPN on the server and client? Does this type of "off-line and sync
on
demand or schedule" idea have any merit?
