Fast Remote File Access

Currently using WD Cloud for remote access to my home WD Drive but that
is slow as molasses.

How do I set up my remote PC to allow my private access to files on its
LAN NAS ?

How do I set up my local PC to access those files ?

Please give details or links that provide the full answer.

Thank you.

For transferring files from home to remote:
How fast is your upstream Internet speed at your home?
How fast is your downstream Internet speed at your remote location?

Flip those around to see what you can expect in the other direction.
Also take into account any bottlenecks that you haven't mentioned, such
as shared wireless access at the remote location and/or at home.

Now that you know what to expect in terms of file transfer speed, are
you still disappointed? If so, work on getting fast access at home
first. Once that works reliably, you're ready to extend that fast access
to your remote location(s).

That's a high level view. Others will surely provide additional details.
Only you know what equipment you have to work with and what your comfort
level is with configuring things.

You could draw diagrams, to help figure it all out.

Normal surfing using my 15/1 ADSL2 account. The download path
is generous, and allows even viewing Netflix.

+-----------------------------+

v 15Mbit down ^

Win7User Walmart or Netflix

However, remote file sharing using your laptop from the Starbucks,
uses the "slow" direction. Upload from the home ADSL2 account
is only 1 Mbit/sec or ~100KB/sec or so (packet overhead).
If you were viewing an IP camera this way, the resolution
might be 320x240 or something :-)

+-----------------------------+

^ 1 Mbit up v

Win7User Starbucks Wifi

My ISP offers two account options in this speed range.
The dollar figures are just made up, I haven't checked the price today.
But I was surprised there was only a small price difference.
The VDSL2 protocol is a bit more symmetric (it's a function
of the analog spectrum on the phone wire on the pole outside,
as to what is possible - they decided to make the allocations
of spectrum more equal for some reason).

15/1 ADSL2 400GB/month $35/month
15/10 VDSL2 400GB/month $37/month

If I wanted to change today, to get an upload of 10Mbit/sec
(enough to get files at Starbucks comfortably), it would cost me

$2/month more
$50 truck roll for install (yet another different filter at demarcation pt.)
(bolt VDSL2 modem to wall in garage maybe)
$100 VDSL2 modem (rough guess) My ISP even offers "rent to own"...

So there is a cost associated with switching
accounts like that. Once my new account is set up...

+-----------------------------+

^ 10 Mbit up v

Win7User Starbucks Wifi

There's no guarantee the local conditions at Starbucks Wifi
will support 10 Mbit/sec. But at least, you've done your
part to fix the source end. Whether it's serving
NAS files, or viewing an IP camera directly.

Our latest change in Canada here, is "relatively honest"
account ratings. When they say "10 Mbit up", you can use
SpeedTest.net and actually see you're getting that. None
of the previous "shaving job" they used to do, where they
lied about everything.

The very best consumer Internet is 1Gbit/sec up and 1Gbit/sec down.
And you are very unlikely to find a node on the Internet
(Walmart or Starbucks) that can match that speed for usage
by just the one user. This might be an option if you were
in Kansas.

If you're at the cottage, you won't have 15/10 as an option.
You'll be able to get 3/1 or something much worse. In this
case, transfer speed of a download home NAS file is limited
to 3. Upload from Cottage to NAS at home is limited to 1Mbit up.

^ 10 Mbit up v 3Mbit down

Win7User Cottage 3/1

Port forwarding on the router on the left
(assuming NAT router), makes some things "exposed"
on the Internet, so the Cottage example can be a reality.
Typically, a user would look for a method which encrypts
a pipe to the home location, so that less "port scanning"
will be done by script kiddies. (They'll still port
scan, but they won't get any hints as to what you've got.)

*******

You can (temporarily) order both ADSL2 and a Cable connection
at your home.

You can actually do "Cottage simulations" using the two Internet connections.

This allows you to prepare your setup, get your Port Forwarding
configured, to make various operations possible. You can
have everything nicely tested before going to the cottage.

(Do all of this in your computer room...)
+-----------------------------+

^ ADSL2 v Cable_Modem

Win7User Laptop, pretends to be cottage

In that example, the laptop is not connected to the home LAN,
and the laptop pretends to be at the cottage, using the
Cable Modem as the connection it's got to the Internet.

The latency in that example, is the distance from the ADSL2 provider
to the ADSL2 Internet Switch, plus the distance from there to the
Cable provider and its Internet Switch, then from there to the
cable modem. Even though the two network boxes are sitting
next to one another, "miles and miles of wire" separate them.
If you run "ping" between the two of them, expect 50 millisecond
latency. It won't be 1 millisecond like a regular LAN to LAN
connection. If the Internet on the right was done with
Satellite Internet (which is lousy in every possible way,
low BW, low data cap, high latency), then the ping time
will be dominated by the time to reach the satellite in
GEO or LEO orbit. So there is a hint of realism in this setup.
"It'll suck just like you were at the cottage."

*******

When I switched from POTS telephone to VOIP telephone,
the ISP thoughtfully allowed an "overlap period", where
both options were still working. I was then able to make
test phone calls, between two phones set up in my computer
room. Since my voice mail was available, I could
leave voice mail messages for myself, and so on. And
that ability to simulate real conditions, means when
the VOIP "goes live" and becomes my one and only
phone number, I can be assured it's going to work.
That's the power of "simulation". If I ever need to
do maintenance on that setup, well, now I'm screwed.
If I mess it up, I've got no working phone :-)

HTH,
Paul

Did I mention SPEED.
NO , because that is not an issue for me.

The problem with you is that you are so stupid that you don't even know
what exactly is your correct name. Is it XP7 or Win7 user? Either you
are confused or that your homosexual boyfriend is stealing your
bandwidth. He is using your line using the same hosting:

Your hosting is:

NNTP-Posting-Host: STZamsvTqBYmAfaA61dSqA.user.gioia.aioe.org



Your homosexual boyfriends hosting is: NNTP-Posting-Host:
STZamsvTqBYmAfaA61dSqA.user.gioia.aioe.org

Are you the passive one in whom he can shuv his small cock? Do you give
him a blow job before he inserts his cock in you?

And you posted this using news.mixmin.net .

And in the other thread, from news.albasani.net .

So ?

I lived in Kansas City for a period of time, including when Google was
bringing in their symmetrical 1Gbit service for $80/month. If you didn't
want to pay that much, they'd give you 5/5 at no charge as a teaser, and
because they're probably running past the house anyway, so might as well
wire it up. Unfortunately, my section of town wasn't where they chose to
do their initial installs, and then I moved away before they got to my
area. At my current place, I get flyers from both Google and at&t that
promise 1Gbit symmetrical here "soon". They've been saying that at least
18 months already, with no visible signs of progress.

Oh, wait, there's one sign of progress. Google is giving away a free
t-shirt to anyone who wants one, with your customized saying, to
advertise their upcoming presence. Google for the link.

I thought Google had kinda "squashed" their fiber business.
They might not be expanding any more. Maybe the numbers
didn't look good.

So the idea will be, to have revenue of $185 million,
and no operating expenses :-)

I've seen those same articles, and yet the flyers and emails still keep
coming about once a month. Maybe it's just the effects of momentum in a
large marketing department.

Learn to comprehend what you read.
The word was Fast not Speed.

Anyway the concept is Remote File Access.

So now you have stopped using "Win10Hater" nym!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You
like changing your nym like I change my underpants, don't you.

How is your homosexual partner? Is he still asking you to suck his cock
after he has shuved it in your backside? I hope you don't get aids
because any anti-virus packages won't be able to cure you. There is no
known cure for aids.
