File systems

Khabravchane, help. In general, there is a computer running Windows 7 at the dacha. The user there is a pure do not care, so he sits without an antivirus and works under the admin account. He himself says that there is nothing to steal from him on the computer, so he does not take a steam bath. :)

Recently, the question arose of how we can arrange a file exchange. I rarely send him anything, so the home server is enough (I throw a file on the server, I give a link). But he often has to. In addition, you need to manage to carry out something like diagnosing his computer.

In general, you need to somehow configure access to the file system on his Windows 7. So that you can easily connect to his computer and merge the necessary files. There is access to this computer, but every time I go to the dacha and carry out the settings as something too lazy. :)

Therefore, I ask you to tell me how to open access to files on his computer? Preferably with built-in functions and so that the user does not need to confirm the connection request (he is also not around the clock in the country, and the computer is almost always on).

And a couple of moments. They suggested putting radmin - user against additional software. Claims that there will be brakes and so on. I’ll obviously persuade something easier, but still it’s desirable with built-in tools. And I would like that I could connect and download the necessary files from under Ubuntu, since I myself am sitting on it. But this is not critical.

They also suggested throwing a Trojan, but firstly I don’t understand this much, and secondly, it’s not necessary, the user himself is aware that I will connect. :)

+1 for RDP for setup.
I think dropbox is the best way to share files.

Radmin was just going to offer, but no. It is forbidden.
Then try to share the system disk. The transfer between two Win computers works (through the router) quite well. True, both are running WinXP and both are on the local network ... But all the same, it's stupid not to try.

TeamViewer, and if it’s completely built-in, then there is RDP (and your disk is remotely connected with one checkmark)

You can use windows live mesh. It can be used both as a file sharing and as a remote desktop.
You can set up an ftp server on IIS and take files from there.

I used radmin on computers like Pentium-166, no brakes were noticed. Although I won’t be surprised, of course, if the modern radmin slows down on Windows 7 :)

SMB will only help to transfer files. And for diagnosing a computer, which the author spoke about, this will not help
. The easiest way is really through RDP. This is built into Windows and Ubuntu has an application for connecting via RDP by default.
On Win7RDP it also allows you to encrypt traffic. So I recommend setting up authorization during setup (in theory, this will automatically enable the use of encryption)
