How to communicate between home and work computer?

Question

git

There are different situations, sometimes you get sick or you leave the office early and you need to work at home. I have a work computer in the office and a home computer.
Advise on how to transfer files, or set up a shared environment on a remote server. How is it usually done?

Answer 1

What OS do you use at home and in the office? What services do you need access to?
Suppose, in the simplest case, you want to connect to a working PC and "move the mouse".
Then for Windows your best bet is to use RDP or VNC (like TightVNC). The computer at work must naturally be turned on, or you need to configure Wake-on-lan.
For Linux, VNC is suitable (for example, x11vnc).
Since the Internet is held in the office for a legal entity, then 99% that you have a white static ip-address there. Ask the admin to forward you an rdp or vnc port on the router and connect from home to your health.

Answer 2

Maybe a Git repository will do? It depends on the purposes for which
I am a frontend and the maximum that I used is git + ftp / sftp

Answer 3

I use git with hooks for this case. The intermediary is a remote server. Suitable for projects in the post-production stage

Answer 4

At home and at work, directory synchronization is set up via the cloud (yandex and google).
Inside the synced directory, I have local git repositories.
It’s very convenient - you do something at work and at any moment break (you can even not commit anything, let alone pull-it) and go home - you continue at home exactly from the moment where you left off at work.
There was already a topic where they argued for a long time that the cloud is not needed in such a situation, everything is decided by a pull to the global repository. But I'm more comfortable with the cloud, and I use git just and only for change and version control.

Answer 5

Don't have a VPN at work? Ask the admin, it either should already be there, or it should be configured so as not to reinvent the wheel.

Answer 6

if everything is nearby, then I just work remotely on my working computer and don’t worry

Answer 7

For simple file synchronization, I liked Dropbox the most, and to work on a remote computer without any dedicated IP, I use TeamViewer
