I am purchasing a new laptop and desktop with Windows Vista (current
machines are XP). The desktop will be at home while my laptop will be with me when I frequently travel. I have a note taking program that I use in Windows (JOT+). When on the road, I don't always want to open my laptop everytime I need to check my notes and the note taking program doesnt have a file format that reads well on my IPAQ PDA. One idea I had was to use a service like gotomypc or logmein to remotely login to my home desktop PC from my PDA (which works reasonably well) to read content in these note files (as if I was sitting at my desktop). To make this practical I would like to find a way to autosync these note files (1mb) from my laptop on the road to my desktop at home via the internet via secure connection. I don't want to have to remember to manually sync files. Does Vista offer an autosync via internet tool for files? |

Hi
I would start by setting it up at home through your Private Network. Any Sync program should do. If it works well you can set it through the Internet too. Setting through the Internet involved just making secure connection, the Sync. should work the same as locally. Jack (MVP-Networking). wrote in message ...
