Remote Access
Working offline
Microsoft® Windows® Small Business Server 2003 helps
you work offline by enabling you
to use shared network files and programs even when you are not connected to the
network. Once you set up your client computer to work offline, you can continue
to work on shared network files as you normally do.
When you are working with offline files, you can view them in your
Offline Files folder and delete them from your folder. You may also want to
specify how and when your files are
synchronized, or you
may want to encrypt your offline
files. Click the following tasks for more information.
View your offline files
When you select a file in the Offline Files folder, information about
the file is displayed, such as its availability,
type, location, and size.
Delete your offline
files
When you delete files from your Offline Files
folder, the network versions of the files are not deleted. You can choose to
delete only your temporary offline files or all of your offline
files.
Manage file
synchronization
When you set up your computer to use
offline files, you can select an option that enables Windows Small Business
Server to
perform automatic file synchronization for all of your offline files. Or, you
can use Synchronization Manager to control which offline files are
synchronized, when they are synchronized, and whether you are prompted before
synchronizing your files.
