I wanted to start by saying thank you in advance for any help or advice I may recieve.
Here goes the problem/question.
I have an office with 4 XP systems. I also have two employees who work from their homes with XP systems. Recently we have incurred the need to share larger files and email is not the answer.
I have concidered buying a mini and setting it up as a file server for my remote employees AND for us to access in my office just for files. Is this possible and secure and if so how do I do it. Am I better to buy the server software and put it on the mini? It will not be used heavily but may in the future.
I don't know what other info to include but can include anything if asked.
I sure appreciate any help or advice.
