Hello,
First of all I would like to say thank you for the great service.
Also one question/suggestion - can we connect to our accounts using VPN (virtual private network). This might make our life easy with projects delployment and not only. I don’t know how easy to do this on your site thought…
Thanks,
Resnovit
Do you mean to connect to your control panel via a VPN or SSL link or do you mean to have access to Remote Desktop/Terminal server on the server itself? If you mean the latter, I’m sure the answer will be no for security reasons. If you meant the former, I believe there is already access to the control panel via SSL. Change the http to https and the :8080 to :8443.
Hello,
Actually I would like to have VPN access to the file system. So I can access the content of web thru Windows explorer. This will be a little easy to manipulate files than thru FTP.
I didn’t mean to access control panel thry Remote Desktop.
Thanks,
Resnovit

Doesn’t IE include some sort of functionality to treat an FTP site like a local disk? I might be mistaken.

you can log onto ftp sites with IE. just use ftp://www.domain.com rather than http://www.domain.com - I always use IE - much easier than most ftp programs

It partially emulates that FTP is like a disk. It gives you possibility to copy to/from FTP. But you can’t access friles from the applications using UNC names. This is kinda what I’m looking for.

You’re asking for too much 
Just do it like the rest of us
We would also be able to manipulate permissions ourselves. I’ve had several permissioning problems lately and I would like to be able to fix them myself.

FTP is more efficient than NetBIOS over TCP/IP. If they allowed that, file manipulation would be slower. They probably don’t even have NetBIOS enabled on the servers in order to keep them optimized and locked down. I guess I’m still expecting, and lobbying, that this would not be allowed.

Yes, I know
Actually I didn’t see VPN access on any hosting services (except may be dedicated servers)

I think you are looking for “webdrive”( www.webdrive.com )
kinda software. They probably do not support permissions
on windows. That however can be done with cuteftp.
