I am selling my Windows 8 ultrabook and replacing with a MacBook Air. I have a Windows 7 Desktop I would like to use to run programs that my mac won't be able to run. I have a online business and some of the software that I use are only able to be installed on Windows based computer.
My plan is to have all the adobe programs, illustrator, photoshop etc installed on my mac. The ftp client I use, webcrawling software etc I want to have on my desktop.
I was thinking for this setup. If I am making new graphics on my mac and I save it to a dropbox folder then it should be on my desktop and ready to use.
Questions I have... I would like to access the desktop 24/7 from my macbook remotely. So if I have to upload something when I am at home I can just login to the desktop and a few click I will have that file or be able to upload to my websites.
Any programs you would recommend me using? I am not sure if macs come with something already installed to access windows computers remotely as long as there is internet access and easy file sharing.
I know I will need internet access wherever I am with my macbook which is fine. I would prefer to stay away from Bootcamp because I don't want to use up the memory on my Macbook Air (will be delivered today). Only issues I have had in the past with connecting remotely is if the windows desktop installs a update then I am locked out of the desktop if it shuts off or reboots and is at the login screen.
I am sure there are some users in the same boat, I would like to know how you have this configured, that works for you.
