Sharing via Internet

[stevemc]

Our home-based business suffers from a lack of collaborative tools, and it's
really hurting our growth. What I had in mind for OneNote was being able to
share things like documents, Outlook Contacts, etc, with several other people
in our business. However, three of these people are located outside our home
office (there are four computers in the office here). I do have several
websites that I could use to host the files, but whenever I attempt to create
a shared notebook on my ftp site, OneNote hangs. I just hope that I'm doing
something wrong, and that I wasn't mistaken about what I could do with the
product - can someone get me pointed in the right direction? Thanks -

OneNote does not support storing notebooks on FTP sites. To share
notebooks with people over the internet, you'll need to find a server
that can run SharePoint, or at least WebDAV. Another possibility is to
set up a VPN between the two location and use UNC shares.
