Remote connections
Hi
In our Dubai office, we have a small XP workgroup consisting of a PC (nominally the server) and a couple of laptops. Files are normally stored on the PC. From the UK, about once a week, and using a broadband connection, I need to be able to access the PC Server to download/upload files . Can someone tell me if this is possible and the best way to acheive it. I would rather not have to have the Dubai people upload files to a web server somewhere. Thanks Alex |

Assuming the Dubai office is running XP Pro, they could set up an FTP
server - see: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/d...sitesetup.mspx Or, you could simply connect to a Remote Desktop enabled XP machine and copy files back and forth - see: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/h...ocal_files.asp Doug Sherman MCSE Win2k/NT4.0, MCSA, MCP+I, MVP "Alex" wrote in message ...

Hi
This issue might be divided into two parts. 1. Preparing a computer in the Dubai office to be available to deliver files. That can be done by HTTP server, ftp server, Remote desktop pr remote control program. It is your call what method you would like to use. 2. Connecting over the Internet to the Dubai computer. The following page was written for individual users with Home Network, but you can use the principles for your purpose as well. http://www.ezlan.net/myip.html Jack (MVP-Networking).
