accessing my external drive from anywhere without mobileme?

Hi

I have a 1tb external hard drive hooked up to my airport extreme. Right now, I just use it for backing up at home. But what I want to do is use it on the go. Ill be going on vacation in a few weeks, and just in case my computer doesn't get the pictures and videos, I want to have them on my home drive so when I come home they will be waiting there.

Is there a way to access the drive without mobileme? I tried googling it, but i wasn't sure what to search.

Thanks!

Look into this:

Pogoplug

I was thinking of something more along the lines of free or accessing the IP or something that isn't 100$

Try Googling "access airdisk over internet" or something similar. There are a bunch of people trying to accomplish the same thing.

You can put your most wanted files in a Drop Box,
Dropbox - Online backup, file sync, and sharing made easy.

I say most wanted because there is a 2 GB (around 2 GB) cap on how much you can put in your box at first. You can access your most wanted files anywhere with internet.

Good luck!

So really, if I had more than 2gb, i could just make another account?

Or you could pay for the 50GB or 100GB account. Watch out with creating multiple accounts as dropbox is usually tied with computers.

Do you have a machine you can keep on? Then you could use something like teamviewer to transfer the files by mounting the AEBS disk on that computer, then using teamviewer to remotely access it.

I am able to mount a timecapsule usb disk through ssh tunneling but cannot backup to it. I can copy files there - but again I have a linux server running ssh so either solution means you need a computer running.

Well i could probably just edit and upload the videos I would need on youtube, to youtube while im on vacation. it wouldn't really take that long. Plus i have an 8gig sd card so that works as well.
