So, for example, I'm at my parents' house and I think: "Hey, I should download XY!" And then I would go on the Internet and tell uTorrent on my computer at my apartment to start downloading XY. And when I come back home, it's already done.

Or I need some file from my computer, or or or...

What would be the best way to do this without opening huge security holes?

I'm sure you could get SomethingAwfully close to an answer else where.

edit:close...

just get one of those radio controllers that flys planes...

UltraVNC rocks.

I'm using RealVNC instead. Anyone know if its possible to have a portable version of the viewer, for example that will run off a USB drive, so that I would just bring it with me without having to install it at school?

edit: nm found it \o/

If you run winXP at home you could simply use Remote Terminal Services.

Start->run->mstsc

Just turn on the server under the remote tab in My Computer.

(You can throw the mstsc.exe on a USB drive and use it to connect.)

are you jealous because I post on other boards?

thx everyone, I'll check those out

IIRC, emule has a pretty nice html client that came bundled with it. But I guess you're thinking torrents only.

only penises use emule

uTorrent will soon have a feature that will allow you to setup up a web server that you can access from anywhere using a login you setup. You will be able to add/remove/pause/stop/etc, just like the regular interface. I forget the link but there some site that reviewed this feature.

Here is a screenshot of the web interface uTorrent will have.

Now I only need a way to switch on my computer from the internet.

A very, very long stick?

Actually, it's possible, but I think the MoBo has to support it (something like wake-on-LAN)
