| [Connection Sharing] How to share a drive over the Internet? A friend of mine wants to share a drive over the Internet.
ie, he has a computer at one house, and from another house he wants to access the first computer's hard drive.
This would be over a cable connection.
I'm thinking of using a VPN on a router, wanted to know what you guys thought of this.

4 edits | WinSCP is a nice free SFTP program if you go the Secure Shell (SSH) route. Here is an example network.

You could use copSSH on the server PC and WinSCP on the client. copSSH is a repackaged installer for OpenSSH/OpenSSL/cygwin and is updated as those are updated. SSH is quite easy to setup for the SoHo user IMHO..

Some third party firmware with a built-in VPN server or SSH server can be installed on a router. DD-WRT is one. What router do you have?

VPN obviously would be your best bet. FTP is also an option as well. |

I would go with FTP if you don't need encryption, and SFTP if you do. |
