Brother Ken, Have I got a deal for you. The free LogMeIn does not handle file transfer, but I use the free version on all but 5 of my LogMeIn PCs (over 50 now). The other 5 are for the Pro version of LogMeIn with file transfer. The only reason I got 5 Pro licenses was out of guilt in getting such an excellent solution for free. As for the lack of built in file transfer, I use my ftp Server as a jump-off point. It doubles the transfer time (what do you want for free?), but has proven effective. I hit the remote PC via LogMeIn, then upload/load files to/from the Remote PC to my ftp Server. Then from my local machine I hit the ftp Server and send/get what I need.
So, the deal... Most ISPs have web space for members to use for their own personal web site. Usually 2Mg to 10Mg of space. You can use that as your own ftp Server, since that is how you would be uploading/downloading web files anyway. If you need more space than your ISP provides, send me an eMail at [EMAIL PROTECTED], and I can set some space aside for you to use on my ftp Server during your travels. Ciao!
