Here's what I want to do....
I have some friends that I would like to be able to access my
computer over the web "easily"... to be able to get at anything
they put their minds to... is there an easy way of doing this?
without the need for special software or complicated instructions?
maybe a one-time "setup" of some kind?
Well it's not dead simple, mainly because you need to get a static
or at least knowable IP address, for which I'd use DynDNS' free
service: <http://dyn.com/dns/dyndns-free/>
Then turn on file sharing and give them your user name and password.
Of course this means they can literally take anything, delete
everything and completely mess up the system whether they meant to
or not.
Not entirely sure if this is really what you want.
Yup. that is exactly what I want to do:-).... as for the messing up,
it's business only for the parents. (not scary)
