Hi,

I've moved this thread to IT Discussion from Site Review.

I'm not sure I've put it in the right place to be honest but I hope that someone in here may be able to point you in the right direction...

The short answer is yes.

If you are the only user, then you do not absolutely have to use DNS (Domain Name Service). You can connect between the networks using only IP addresses as names. When the IP addresses change, you just have to manually make the switch.

The big question is: Do one or both networks have public IP space? Many ISP's give RFC1918 IP addresses (10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x being the most common) which they then use NAT (Network Address Translation) to connect to the outside world.

What are the first two octets (X.X.y.y) of both of your IP addresses?

Do either or both of these networks have multiple IP addresses?

You should have a firewall in place at both locations.

What file transfer protocol do you intend to utilize? I use scp - secure copy (http://www.tech-faq.com/data-networks/ssh-secure-shell.shtml) for the vast majority of my file transfers across the Internet. Encryption makes me feel a lot safer about moving data over the Internet.
