It's an age-old problem. You left home thinking you had saved the most
recent version of a document to your flash drive or to your MobileMe
account, but when you access it at work your "blah blah blah"
placeholders are where your charts should be.
The meeting's in
ten minutes. What do you do? Recreate the missing charts from memory?
You wish. Luckily, FeelHome's got your back.
The open source
solution form Nuxinov, FeelHome, is a cross-platform software that
allows you instant access to your files from any web-browser anywhere.
You register for an account, install the software on the computer you
want to access, launch the server and you're ready to go. You can even
configure several computers to run simultaneously, disconnect them
remotely and even shut those computers down remotely. The interface is
customizable as well, allowing you a pleasant, homey experience.
FeelHome
runs on HTTPS and uses SSL to handle the security end of things. They
merely act as a transfer server and delete files from their system the
instant the document is received by you. And your password is so
tightly encrypted that even the people at Nuxinov (theoretically) can't
access it. So don't forget it.
The best thing of all about
FeelHome is its price. Unlike other remote access packages, FeelHome is
free to download and free to use. Now you just have to remember to leave
your home computer turned on.
