access your files from anywhere in the world, using any Internet-connect computer, as if they were on a
local folder of that computer.
To do so, your Net-Box must have a domain name set up, and it must have http and webdav enabled.

- Select Network Services from the menu on the left.
Make sure that both 'Web Sites' and 'WebDAV File Sharing ' are set to either 'SSL' or 'SSL and
non-SSL' for access from the internet (the rightmost column).

Accessing your files from any computer on the Internet using VPN
VPN is an acronym for Virtual Private Network. A VPN is a way to provide remote access to an
organization's network via the Internet. VPNs send data over the public Internet through secure "tunnels",
with the information sent across the Internet being encrypted so the entire network is virtually private. An
example might be a company network where there are offices in different cities. Using the Internet, the
offices merge their networks into one network. The data is encrypted to insure that only the offices can
see the data on the Internet link.
How to set up a VPN connection in Windows (XP)
- Open the Windows Control Panel.
- Open the ‘Network and Internet Connections’ item in Control Panel. A list of existing dial-up and
LAN connections will appe ar.
- Choose the 'Create a connection to the network at your workplace' item from the left-hand side of
the window. The Windows XP ‘New Connection Wizard’ will appear on the screen.
