how to remote access a server via vpn?

May 28, 2006 5 Replies

this may sound dumb but i am at sea while trying to communicate between vpn server and client. I have a vpn server setup and i can connect to it via the vpn connection through my windows machine.



But now what, how to use the connection and how to transfer files to/from the server and edit files in the server. when i searched the net all i get is how to access the remote server via internet explorer or outlook. so the question is how can i access that server. i have woked on ssl via putty but no idea which interface to use for my porpose.



can someone can provide some tips or some handy links to help me.



thanks.



yeah, but to reply "Sounds dumb." to someone asking for direction is rather silly:P.please grow up.

for others who really want to help,

the vpn server is setup on a linux machine. how can i access its console.

thanks.

True, though your questions are still dumb.

people as smallminded as you are not worth of my time and effort.

The two ends of the VPN are the same as two computers on the same local area network. If they both have *shared* file areas then windows networking should let you mount the shared drives and drag and drop your files from one to the other.
