"</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/westfall-20050714-filepointexchange.gif" /> <br /><br />If you've been looking for a way to access your files on the go (And securely sharing your home directory out through your web server isn't a possibility!) then this may be the setup you're looking for. They offer a 30-day trial and have just released a new version. Anyone using this out there that cares to comment? The price is a bit steep ($59 for their deluxe package), but could be worth it if you need access to files remotely.<br /><br /><b>Update</b> The price for FilePoint Exchange is $39 for a limited time, then up to $49. They do have a deluxe mobile suite on their site for $59. I've also changed the link at the request of Bachmannsoftware. As the poster below noted, this software does look promising!

Couple of notes...

1. The price is $39.99, regularly $49.99. The $59.99 is for their Bachmann Mobile Utilities for Palm.
Pocket PC version: http://www.bachmannsoftware.com/fpxppc.htm
Palm versions: http://www.bachmannsoftware.com/filepoint.htm

2. I believe you pay for the one license to be registered on the Pocket PC, but it appears you can install the "server" or desktop end to as many PCs as you want. Much like z2 Remote2PC's licensing setup.

3. Ports can be configured, so you can do it for multiple PCs at home, if you set up the router, of course.

Looks promising! Will have to give it a full 30-day run to see how it goes!
