Remote computing

As caitsith said, use logmein. Noone seems to have acknowledged caitsith's comments. The application only needs to be installed on the home pc. All that is needed at work is a browser.100% free too.

Look dori2o, we know each others posts from another place, if what you want to do in the workplace was bona-fide you would not be on this techie group seeking a way to circumnavigate your employers rules.

If because of your ongoing issues you still want them to sack you, ask them to do so, tell them you are struggling, they may offer more help. You could make an approach and tell them what you want to do and ask them to facilitate it or you. Have you done that and been refused, hence the approach to the tec-sec here ?

OK then as you seem to be the expert on my life, exactly what 'medical' files could my employer possibly be holding? My employer has never sent me for a medical. I have been sent to OH but I have copies of all their letters anyway. The ONLY medical records that my employer holds are the ones I have provided to them.

I have no interest in whistleblowing, HMRC seem to do that to themselves well enough.

I've not spoken to anyone at work with regards to what I am looking to do as yet. I will be doing so but wanted to know all the facts first.

I'm simply looking for a way to view the files on my home PC via my work PC, WHY, because I can use my time to go through various self help therapies I have on my PC that are too large to print or are in non printable format. I also have 2 visualisation and meditation files I would like to review whilst I am at work, in my own time, that again are unable to be printed.

I've had a play around with this tonight. Seems to be the best option for me. I'll speak to the techs at work tomorrow and see if this fall within our acceptable use policy.

If the answers not no, I'd be very surprised.

Now that is good news dori2o, clear it with the powers that be , sort it properly.

1. Logmein would seem to be the only answer to access the other computer.
2 If your system is that locked down, you may want to think weather you want to log in to your other machine from work. Is it possible to make a generic enquiry with one of the IT bods? (a quiet off the record chat)
3. email any docs to a web based account make sure they are zipped and must have a password to open.

not quite
many companies lock down their PCs and USB ports because its a simple way to protect their network from malicious code/user caused IT problems
not preventing someone from accessing PDFs
