hi tcluggers, what reasonable ways are there for working on things both "from the office and from home"? i sometimes run rsync to pull stuff from the other location. just better not run it in the wrong direction by mistake or you trash all your recent changes. or if you forget to run it you then have to manually merge diverged modifications. i can imagine setting up nfs through an ssh tunnel. but no, nfs had enough little gotchas i'm so happy i haven't used it in ages, just on a lan, nevermind outside the lan. i routinely use vnc. it works. but slow like molasses in january. and hey ultravnc even has file transfer. but i don't use winders if i can help it. i'm using courier imap for email. really it's a very nice remote filesystem. and by golly i've attached files to a draft through vnc and then saved them locally. but i don't expect it's fair to imagine trying to use imap outside mozilla. what comments or suggestions can y'all offer? greg -- Greg Whitley Mott IT Coordinator NonviolentPeaceforce.org skype: gregwm office: +1-612-871-0005 home: +1-651-646-8394
