Abstract
Users that access their personal information from a home computer typically only need access to data, and do not need to remotely control the desktops of their home computers. By providing a remote access server that coordinates access to the file system of a user device, such as a home computer, a remote device, such as a mobile phone, can send commands to the user device. The remote device sends requests including commands to the server. The user device periodically requests these commands from the server. An application on the user device processes these commands, and in response provides the requested information to the server. The server responds to the requests from the remote device with the requested information from the user device.
