Ok I have a computer at home and one at work. How can I remotely access my computer at work through my computer at home.Meaning I can open anything,create,delete,copy,etc..almost like a BO except not.Is there a simple way?

PC Anywhere is one... In WinXP theres Remote Desktop...

Citrix is another...

telnet://I.P. of computer at work is another... heh


Are you behind a firewall at work, most likely you are and might need some sort of tunneling software.

Hey sum didn't you say you use winputty?

will pcanywhere work even if i'm behind a firewall?

My work computer is at a university

Not winputty, just putty. And yes, I do use it fairly often. NOt sure how it applies here but it is a raw session/telnet/ssh/rlogin client all rolled into one that fits on a floppy. You can find it at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html .

could you put that into simpler terms infinite? about putty

That's not simple?

er....

Putty is a program you use to get a shell on a remote computer through one of the protocols mentioned above.

er...

Putty is a program you use to get a commandline that is running on a machine far away (or in the same room even) to appear on your own machine like you were really sitting at it.

er...

I don't know how to say it any plainer. Hope that helped.

er...

If you're running a telnet/ssh/rlogin server on your own computer, you can use putty to connect to it and h4x0r j00r 0wn b0x0r. PH33R!!!

much better

PC Anywhere will work for OUTWARD connections if you're behind a school network (everything will work outward, since most don't have their own external ip you won't be able to do incoming).

Now what if my computer at home uses the university's server then will it be able to recieve anything?

If you do not have a phisical IP (you connect and the IP is dedicated to you, not a network) there aren't any remote access servers that will be able to help you since they idle on the IP and wait for a signal to open a connection. You'll have no real luck unless you'll be able to con your network admin into forwarding the ports from their router to your computer lol...

"unless you'll be able to con your network admin into forwarding the ports from their router to your computer"

Which you won't be able to do
