remote file access and syncing software
 
let me explain as perhaps the title isnt the most revealing.

I need some software which I can stick on my machine at home and then connect to from over the internet, work on the files on it and then save them. I know I can do this via remote desktop or VPN but sometimes the connection I have isnt very fast or the wife might be using the machine.

What I basically need is something which connect I can use the files, and then either copy them back, or click synchronize and it does all the donkey work.

Most of the files are either web pages or word/excel files so nothing major but I have about 2 gig in total. Hence the need to sync.

Anyone know of anything which will do this?

cheers

what would scooby do 14 February 2009 10:09 PM

Why don't you just use office live where your files are stored on the internet ?

ahh but 2gb may be too much!

also its the speed, I could use ftp as I have 500gb space but would like the files accessible when im home.

I can't comment on the first bit I use File Versa for checking files and folders are up to date and match.

Mesh is always good!!!

Alternatively you could poke a few holes in your firewall, sort out a little bit of routing and FTP it using a decent client ;)
