Is it possible to access my home (clarkconnect for what it's worth) server from inside my NHS firewall?

Don't want to waste my time looking into tunnelling and FTP/Web server stuff that I know naff all about at the moment if I'm onto a non-starter.

Would be nice and handy but they seem to try and block most of the fun things here - I'm still amazed I can get into these forums!

Cheers!
 
If you've got port 80 access (i.e. http, which I am guessing you have..) then you can get yourself a socks proxy (on the "outside") and tunnel whatever traffic you like through it.
 
I know you say you dont want to use tunnelling etc but to be honest it is uber simple to get working.

I use it to get through my schools firewall, I can forward any ports I like through it using Putty

You could always use TOR might get you through some firewalls.

I tried to do this the other day but couldn't manage it, I have done it before.

At work, to tunnel trafffic encryted through my home internet connection. I had to set my proxy in browser settings to 127.0.0.1 and when I browsed the web on the local computer (works) it actually fetched the web pages using my cable connection at home.

Using putty to tunnel

Any ideas/?
 
So what would I need to run on each machine then so that I can access the files?

I assume it's not just as simple as running Putty. How would I then copy files over?

And I also assume that Putty is only text based, so does that mean I would have to run command line rather than drag and drop to copy stuff?
