I have a new computer dilemma. A couple of months ago I did something I hadn\u2019t done in years. I bought a new computer. I do this about once every six or seven years. I don\u2019t want you think I use the same computer for more than five years. I don\u2019t. In fact, I usually get a new computer every year, but it\u2019s always a laptop. This time I got a desktop.<\/p>\n
I still have a nice laptop that I tote to the office everything. Here\u2019s the problem. I work at home in the evening (on the desktop). Then I take the laptop to the office. I have a 512MB USB drive that will hold everything I do in a evening, but I always end up at the office without that one file I really need.<\/p>\n
So I\u2019m looking for a secure way of getting back to my home computer (security is very important\u2026 must be encrypted) from outside the firewall. It also has to be easy to use.<\/p>\n
I have a cable modem with an IP address that\u2019s mapped to a domain name (using DYNDNS.ORG). Getting home is not the problem. Once I\u2019m here, I have to get through the firewall which already has HTTP and HTTPS mapped to my web server and secure mail server, respectively.<\/p>\n
FTP is no good (not encrypted). I\u2019m looking at encrypted FTP, but I need something that is FREE. I found EFTP, but it wants to use some dynamic ports that my firewall doesn\u2019t seem to want to automatically open.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m still playing around with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
