Remote working

Can I access my work files from home / remote location?

You can access files from home or when you are away, for example, working in another office and the safest way to do this is to set up a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

A VPN establishes a secure communication link between your internet connection and your office connection. This means that data can be exchanged safely.

With a VPN set up on your desktop, you double click to open your connection, enter your usual login details [user name and password] and then you can see all the files on your server.

There are many types of VPN choices available. We use Sonicwall because it offers a solution for businesses of all sizes, with different configuration options.
