Re: VPN - Virtual Private Networking

Sharing files over dial-up is an exercise in patience. Unless you wait for a long time, you won't even know if it's working. Quite frankly, I don' think this is practical using dial-up and VPN. There is so much overhead in the VPN and the SMB protocol, it just isn't going to happen.

Using something like Net Meeting or other file transfer applications is probably going to be the answer, as you seem to have already found out.
