If that is really their position[1], then you need to get some sort of SSh
server inside the network.
This allows you to get file-level or command-line-level access to your
systems; the conventional Windows admin method involves running RDP over
PPTP or similar, and sending a graphical desktop involves much more
bandwidth use than just the files you're actually interested in...
Vic.
[1] it almost certainly isn't; this is the sort of thing I usually see
rolled out when a Windows admin is simply too far out of his comfort zone
to accept something different to what he's used in the past :-(
