We are getting a VPN at work.. They are telling us that when we are in the VPN we will not be able to access the 'my documents' folder that I would use when Im not in the VPN. The VPN seems to create a separate desktop/my documents etc - and you can not move stuff (documents) between the vpn and the regular c drive.. is this normal? Brian |

Set up a computer to accept SSH2 connections, a Linux flavor would be best and have it use kerberos (AD, whatever) to authenticate. Once you have built that up, any user can connect with a program like SecureCRT thus creating a secure tunnel to the network. As soon as the user has connected, they open a remote desktop session from their local system to connect to whichever machine they want within that network. good luck!! |
That's the sort of thing that causes business to look at hardware end to end VPN solutions! I'm not sure what you place of business is implementing, but what you are describing is definitely not normal. The whole point of VPN's is secure access to central applications and data from a remote location. |

Much of the stuff here said so far doesn't make much sense. I do this stuff for a living. The OP's post makes the least sense of all. I don't think what he is describing is a VPN. Maybe he's thinking of a roaming profile. Or maybe he is saying they can use a VPN to access the office network but will be unable to access files on their desktop computer or network shares. -Foxxz |
