Remote access to a server

by david . Updated 19 years, 6 months ago

I am looking for help – please jargon free as I do not understand technical terms. We are a small business with 4 pc’s in the office all using a Buffalo hard disk as central data files. We want to set-up remote access via the internet so we each can access central files from anywhere in the world. I am sure there must be an ‘out-of-the-box’ solution somewhere, but there is so much jargon I don’t understand. We don’t use outlook, instead we use a web based email and calendar system, so this isn’t a problem. We needx a solution tyhat is reliable and can be set-up and run by non-techies (ourselves). Someone did set up the buffalo for us to use FTP, but it is unreliable.

Can anyone please help by suggesting what products we might use? I have considered buying a server and using the buffalo for back-up, but how do I set up remote access?
