Remote Data Access
Access Your Data
This document explains methods to access the data on your account from home or some other remote computer. From a users point of view there are two main approaches to remote filesystem access:
- A special program transfers individual files or directories from one host to another:
FileTransfer - FTP and SSH on Unix and Windows
- The filesystem of the remote host gets attached to the local host such that it appears as a normal filesystem and can be accessed directly from every application:
FileSystemAccess - Samba and CIFS on Linux, network drive on Windows
