Remote access to files and media can be useful for a wide range of purposes. Whether you want to watch movies stored on a remote device, such as a home server, or access files on your work computer while you are away from the office, Meshnet provides a convenient way to accomplish these tasks. In addition, Meshnet uses an encryption mechanism to secure data transfers, helping you protect your sensitive content from being accessed by unauthorized parties. It also eliminates the need to open ports to allow traffic through, which simplifies the setup and reduces the risk of security breaches. In this section, you can find how-to guides on accessing your remote resources over Meshnet. ### **Remote file management solutions** * [Set up and access shared folders](/how-to/remote-files-media-access/set-up-folder-sharing.md) * [Set up a remote NAS using OpenMediaVault and Meshnet](/how-to/remote-files-media-access/remote-openmediavault-nas.md) * [Use Syncthing for remote continuous file synchronization](/how-to/remote-files-media-access/syncthing-file-synchronization.md) * [Set up HTTP file server for remote file access](/how-to/remote-files-media-access/http-file-server.md) ### **Personal media streaming** * [Watch videos over Meshnet using Kodi](/how-to/remote-files-media-access/watch-videos-using-kodi.md) * [Configure and access Jellyfin media server remotely](/how-to/remote-files-media-access/access-jellyfin-media-sever-remotely.md) * [Set up a Plex media server and access it remotely](/how-to/remote-files-media-access/set-up-remote-plex-media-server.md) * [Set up a remote picture library with LibrePhotos and Meshnet](/how-to/remote-files-media-access/librephotos-picture-library.md) * [Set up a remote Airsonic music server](/how-to/remote-files-media-access/airsonic-music-server.md) * [Set up a remote audiobook server](/how-to/remote-files-media-access/audiobook-server.md) * [Host a remote Kavita e-book server](/how-to/remote-files-media-access/kavita-ebook-server.md) * [Set up and remotely access Immich using Meshnet](/how-to/remote-files-media-access/immich-remote-access.md) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://meshnet.nordvpn.com/how-to/remote-files-media-access.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
