 Yet another very cool feature of Home Server. Today we're gonna be having a look at Remote Access. So Remote Access allows you to access all of your files. So I'm gonna go ahead and type in my email address. I already have this set up because I have my own Home Server. But if it's all the same to you guys, I'm just gonna keep my email address on the down low. I accidentally revealed it in one of my previous episodes and about 300 million people added me to MSN Messenger. I apologize for ignoring those people, but it's just not something that I want to necessarily have all over my, well, yeah. All over my MSN. I keep it strictly to friends and family. So, all right, here we go. The domain name is set up. I just entered my Windows Live ID. I already had it set up. It was only a couple extra steps. It's fairly self-explanatory to do this. So I've gone ahead and set it up. My router is fairly able to configure that on its own. So here we go. We're gonna simulate what it's like to run Windows Home Server through the internet browser. It only works with Internet Explorer for remote desktop connections. So if you don't like Internet Explorer, then too freaking bad. But you can use other browsers, including Firefox is the one that I use myself. And that one I have tested to work with the remote folder access. So I'm gonna go ahead, type in my strong password. So here you go. We're in the interface for Windows Home Server. So I'm gonna go ahead and click computers. So from here, I can, oh yeah, you'll have to install an ActiveX Control. So basically, I'm just gonna explain what this does. You can either connect to your Home Server, which just takes you to the Home Server console, this thing, or you can connect to your PC. So as long as you configure your PCs to work with remote desktop connection, and they are running a supported operating system, it's just that easy. You just double click on it, and you are running remote desktop connection to your computer. The next one is shared folder. So this one is also just terrific. Like let's say you get to school, and you realize the project that you worked on that you aren't very smart, and you store in the expendable folder. So here, let's go put a project in the expendable folder. Let's say that project is an EA Download Manager. So we go ahead and let's go to the TS Mini, go to the expendable folder. Nope. Can't find the expendable folder for some reason. Heavens, okay, let's throw it in the public folder. Fine. Whatever. Okay, so let's go back to Internet Explorer. Oh, it's probably because it's open here. Oh well. So we'll go to the public folder. Oh no, I forgot it. Oh, it's okay. I can save it to my desktop. Yay. So it's that easy. You can just access all your folders like that. You can browse the whole structure, the whole folder structure. So I could go into my Linus folder. I haven't actually got anything in there, but here, let's go back to my public folder. So you can actually check a bunch of different stuff that you want. You can choose icon view or details view. You can show all files. You can show 20 or 50. It gets kind of slow if your home internet connection isn't very fast and you're trying to show all files in some huge folder. So I wouldn't really recommend that. But if you have any idea what you're looking for, you can usually find it in the list. If not, you can always search for it. And it does work very, very well. So that is yet another killer feature of Windows Home Server that I absolutely love and basically sets itself up if you have a reasonably current router.
