Log Me In Scotty

The ability to access critical files right when you need them can mean the difference between landing a deal - or losing it.

That’s why GoToMyPC has been so successful in building a business. Their online service allows you to remotely operate and retrieve files from your desktop PC from your laptop when you’re on the road - for a price.

A GoToMyPC license for a single PC runs about $20 per month, 2 PCs are about $30 per month and additional PCs are about $15 per month additional each.

But now there’s free competitor called LogMeIn.com which gives you much of the functionality of GoToMyPC with none of the cost!

The biggest downside of LogMeIn’s free version is that it doesn’t include the ability to transfer files, but there are a number of quick workarounds to this roadblock. First off, you can email files to yourself from your desktop or use an FTP application to transfer them to a third hard-drive. Worst case you can do an instant upgrade to LogMeIn Pro (the at-charge version) and take it from there.

Anyway you look at it, LogMeIn.com is a great way to try this type of service out before you make a cash commitment. I’m using it right now to let me Virtual Assistant synchronize all my contact databases from her office in the Soutwest.

Give LogMeIn a try and let me know what you think.
