hey all, I did a search but didn't come up with anything specific, so I figured I'd toss this one out for my fellow TFPers to mull over.

I'll be spending a lot of time away from my main rig in the future, and I want to be able to access my computer at home from my laptop, which will probably be from various (hopefully high-speed) internet connections overseas.

I'm quite disappointed with window's remote desktop, as it has all kinds of debilitating flaws and lack of functionality (especially when it comes to file transfers). I also have a copy of PC Anywhere, but I haven't had much chance to play around with it. Someone has mentioned a third option to me but I have since forgotten the name of the program.

My question is, what do you recommend for a good remote desktop connection? I won't have physical access to my main rig for a long time, so I need something stable, secure, and hopefully easy to set-up so I can leave my main computer running indefinitely so I can log-in whenever I want. Your thoughts?
