I also work over a VPN from time to time. What I've found to be the quickest way to develop is to use FTP. It seems that talking NTFS over a VPN is just too much. Simple FTP doesn't pass as much information and is much faster. None of our servers have the studio installed or I would definately use Terminal Services myself. It is the way to go when remoting on Windows...

Hatton Humphrey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 8:45 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Text Development Question Okay, I know that the disucssions about DWMX and Homesite+ have been going on for some time, but I wanted to ask if anyone had any suggestions for a telnet/DOS based text editor that will run on Windows 2000 and access either mapped drives or NetBIOS shares propperly? The only thing I need is a good text editor. Long (boring) story for such an easy question. I'd like something that does some kind of ANSI color coding and maybe Paren-checking (briefly hilighting an opening parenthesis, brace, tag marker, etc. I'm having to code in CF, ASP, Javascript, VB and some straight HTML. If you want to read my explanation of why, go ahead, otherwise the rest is filler. Thanks! Hatton Here's my situation and my line of thought - The place that I work is very flexible and understanding when it comes to hours and telecommuting. I do not have a set schedule that I have to work so long as I put in 40 hours a week. It is suggested (rather heavilly) that the bulk of the hours be during normal business hours and in the office. However, we do have several people that work from home a day or two out of the week. We have a VPN set up and it is accessable. Our devel environment is such that we have two different devel servers (one that is CF only and one that is ASP only), two different SQL Server boxes (devel and production) and three production boxes. All of our projects use source control via Source Safe. It's a setup that has been working relatively smoothly for the last 6 years or so, growing with age. I've tried working from home, connecting to the VPN and using VNC to connect to my machine at the office. It's slow... dreadfully slow compared to being there. To the point of making me not want to work from home slow. One of the thoughts that I had was to set up a dedicated Linux box to connect to via Telnet once I'm inside the VPN, but that'd require the approval of my boss, who's not too hip on Linux, let alone giving me the time away from billable projects to fiddle with things. My next idea is to make use of the Telnet service that is available in Windows 2000, which is what I have on my work machine. Then I can use the VPN to connect and then telnet into my machine. I have VSS here so I can connect, which handles that aspect. ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
