drag and drop files between computers remotely

[jjj807]

I have windows computers and a linux machine. My linux pc holds all of my movies, music, and work files. I want to be able to access these files away from the local network. Me at work on my laptop dragging files from linux pc at home.

How do i go about this
I have WinSCP on my windows computers, so how can i set it up on my linux machine? I have cable with a netgear wireless router

Thanks

You start by checking with your IT Department at work.

What about if I want to connect from my home in new york to my apt in boston

winscp uses sftp and ssh for transport. Forward the right port to your linux box and you should be able to get in from anywhere.

Setup FTP on our nix server, hosting your files.

Use any old FTP program that does drag + drop and you're good to go.
