Can I use FreeOTFE over a network?

0

Yes. By installing FreeOTFE on the computers you wish to access your data from, you can mount a volume file located on a networked server. When mounting over a network, simply specify the UNC path (e.g. \\servername\sharename\path\volumefilename) to the volume file begin mounted. When a volume is mounted over a network in this way, all data read/written to that volume will be sent over the network in encrypted form. If you wish to mount a networked volume file by more than one computer at the same time, you may do so provided that they all mount the volume read only. If any computer has a volume file mounted as read/write, you should dismount all other computers (even if they were accessing the volume as read only), and ensure no other computer mounts the volume until the computer mounted as read/write has dismounted.
