Simple folder access using remote access / VPN
I have a laptop with a global VPN client, that allows me to use Remote Desktop Connection on the office Server, via an internet connection.
I need to setup something so a colleage can access a just a single folder on the server, using his laptop from anywhere using his internet connection and the global VPN client.
Whats the easiest way to implement this ?
I don't want to use Remote Desktop Connection to the server as I don't want him messing with the server and its files. I only want him to be given access to this one folder only.

Cant he just access the network share via IP?
e.g \\192.168.X.X\sharename (you could even map a drive on his local machine to that)
You will probably find that computer/server names wont work due to no name resolution, if thats the case you will need to create a LMHost file and load it into his IP properties
