Thanks, I'll try it out then. Btw. do you know maybe if there are other file transfer protocols that doesn't require downloading files to the client machine, that would be worth experimenting with in that case too? I'm rather a novice to networking stuff, but it would be nice to explore this topic a bit more

I mentioned giving access to a friend and he wouldn't be connected to my local network so I guess it would be kind of exposing it to the world. There's always possibilty to use VPN, but I'm not sure if it'll solve all the safety problems, and there's still speed issue. That's why I was wondering if there are any alternatives

I though about using iscsi but isn't it very slow and unsafe over WAN? At least thats what I read so far.

Remote gaming storage on old pc (alien.top)
 

Hi,

I have an old pc that I would like to use as an storage to install games on. I know about parsec and moonlight for streaming games, but it probably won't work in that case since GPU on that PC is pretty crappy, so I would rather use one from my everyday PC. The possibilities I see here are to either use this PC only as external storage and read files from it via some kind of protocol, or connect to it with something like remote desktop and "borrow" my everyday PC GPU's power. It would be nice if it wouldn't be super slow solution when using over WAN since I would like to give a friend access to it. Would something like this even be possible?
