At home I have a laptop and a desktop PC, and they're on a wireless network, as is so often the case. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to go through hell to set up filesharing properly.
I need something that can run off my USB drive (it's ok if it isn't portable, I'll just make a BAT registry wrapper) that will automagically configure my laptop and my desktop to connect to each other and to share a specific folder of my choosing (e.g., C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Share) on the home network, without opening security holes.
Any thoughts?

VPN? SSH tunnel, then open some kind of connection that way (FTP server?)
Not sure what it'd take to do the SSH tunnel...basically a poor-man's-VPN.
2000 Pro and XP Pro I know support VPNs natively...XP Home might not, along with other OSes (Your Mileage May Vary) but definitely an option.
A VPN client like ipsec or openvpn to connect office while not at work ! whith certificate ...
A portable vpn client supporting openvpn would be great.
nemric, there is already a portable vpn client for IPSec is called Linsys IPSec Tools
