The company I work for (a bunch of restraunts) wants to set up a simple network solution where the owners can access and edit real time there quick books and excel sheets remotely.
Basically, all the financials are store on on PC, and they want to be able to log on to that PC from say another city, and edit them (such as adding daily sales info, etc.) and not impede the work that is going on on the server PC (which is more an office workstation than a server, But there is a static IP there)
I thought about doing an ftp setup, but I feel that there is probably a more elagant solution out there, and my networking experiences are limited to small home networks.
also, why we are at it, is there a way to use this same WAN to implement an auto back up procedure ofor all there documents?
These clients of mine are very PC illiterate, so I need a very intuitive or "dumb" solution.
thanks
