Transferring a lot of files between computers – A VPN can be better for transferring files between a home computer and an office computer. Now, that I know what the difference between remote sessions and VPNs, which should I choose? The downside of a remote session is that it’s hard to transfer files and information from your home computer to the office computer. With a remote session, you are literally using your office computer like you would if you were at the office. The main benefit of a remote scenario like this is that with a VPN, your home computer may not have your work programs installed, your work email configured, or any of the other accouterment that is necessary to getting your job accomplished. Unlike a VPN, which sends files back and forth between your home and office computers, a remote session lets you take control of an office computer so as to make it feel like you were physically sitting at the office computer. Often we choose remote sessions as a solution because it gives you the ability to take control of a computer at your office. What is a Remote Session (RDP, GoToAssist, Remote PC)
