Have you ever been traveling and realize an important file is on your
desktop?
You’re traveling and you
realize an important file is on your desktop.
Maybeyou can get a co-worker to email it to
you. Or you can suck it up and do without (SOL).
Or you could plan ahead and
realize you are going to need files you may have left back at home.
There’s a program/free
service that lets you get any file off your computer using any Web browser,
Avvenu (http://www.avvenu.com).
You download and install a
small application on the base desktop. Configure it with a username and password
(here’s where youreallywant to use a hard to guess,
strong password).
Then when you need a file, you
go towww.avvenu.comand log in. Your files are displayed and you can download
the one you need.
Your network administrator will
freak, but a system like Avvenu will save your rear end someday.
