I want to know how I can work on files that I have placed on a server at work to my pc at home. Is there a way to access the server, if I have my user name and password?

Actually u can work on your files which you have placed on the server at work in two ways. create a RAS connection on your server with the help of modem & telephone line. grant dailin permissions to your user which is there on that server. From homeU can dial this computer. It will allow u to connect then u can access your files.
If ur server is on internet & running FTP service then from home you connect to internet ftp to your server by typing server name, user name and password. But ur a/cshould have ftp login rights. it allows u to login then download that files to ur local (home)PC. do the necessary changes and upload it back to ur server. There are other ways also but I can't write much. U can get in touch with me at devaraj@apexinc.com

The answers in the answer above are true, and a third way is to install "pcanywhere" on both computers. Set up the server as a host and your home computer as a remote. This allows the remote to operate the host computer as though you were there. With a slight delay caused by your internet or modem connections speeds.

I thank you for your answer, but I was trying to go straight to the server. I have groupwise at work, which would allow me to do your saying-- I believe.
Thanks again

If it is not possible to setup conntection to your work place server - when you are done for the day e-mail the file to yourself, save attachment - work on it and e-mail it back to the office.

While all the above will work, if you can't get remote access permission, go to one of the many web sites that offer free online disk space. Copy your files there and you will have access anywhere in the world if you can get to the Internet. These services are free, a couple of examples: FreeDrive, Driveway, DiskSpace.
