    How to access files on PC (from a PC on a different network)

    Good day. I have a PC running Windows 7 Home Premium at my shop. I want to be able to access the files and folders on my shop PC from my home PC (which is obviously on a different network). Any suggestions on how I could do that would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    MrCanuck;
    Hello and welcome to the forum.
    You have a few different options. Probably the easier, more firewall friendly involve the use of third party software like
    https://secure.logmein.com/products/free/ free for personal non-commercial use
    TeamViewer - Free Remote Access and Remote Desktop Sharing over the Internet again free for personal non-commercial use
    or a couple others with a bit of a steeper learning curve and required firewall configuration

    Good luck and let us know how you're progressing
