I'm currently working on a large project (web based
email). Well its large for me, anyway.
I'm working on it with another user (she is in two
locations, on one same machine, was at home and now at university).
I am on 2 computers: Laptop I bring to home and
work and my main desktop at home.
Is there anyway for all of us to sync files
easily? The closest thing I can describe how I'd like to do this is MS
Frontpage extensions (But of course, not that). I'd prefer everything to
be done in real time (maybe thats not the right term... I mean that all of us
are using the freshest copy from the server with nothing local except for images
waiting to go up to the server).
I know if I was editing the files on the server
directly, I wouldn't have to do this, but I prefer using PHPEd and Dreamweaver
UltraDev :)
Whats the best way to do this?
An idea that popped into my head was a VPN that
shares the necessary files and folders on on the web server. Any other
simpler ideas?
Samba is out of the question, as our ISP at home
blocks ports 137-139 (It is part of the "Good Neighbor Policy" among cable
ISPs. Guess it is a good idea because most users are idiots).
If VPN is the only way, it has to work in a few
ways...
1. I'm behind a masqed machine at home and a
DSL router at work, so it must work through those.
2. It has to not involve changes to the
network at work (ie, have to make a tunnel between the two networks instead of
between my computer and the server)
3. All my machines are WinME for
client and the main server is Debian, so it needs to be able to work on
ME.
4. Have a good howto/tutorial/manual on
it
Thanks!

p.s. btw, I know I might get flamed for
this, but super duper security (Quadruple 3DES etc) is not required for
this. Just really looking for functionality over security, at least
now.
