Hello folks,

I was wondering if this community could lend me another hand. I'll try to be as explicit as possible so that anything of importance doesn't fall through the cracks.

I want to hire somebody from Fiverr.com to remotely access a certain folder on my hard drive that has a lot of architectural images and organize these files by dragging and dropping the corresponding images to the respective folder like bathroom, kitchen, etc. I'm running Win7 Home Prem. OS - I do not know what the other individual is using.

I would like to know if it is possible for them to remotely access this folder and only this folder, do their work, and then I can remove their access to this folder.

If this is not an option, does anyone have any other opinions on how I should go about this? The folder is currently at 800mb. Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks,
Rod

Unless you trust somebody else in your filesystem explicitly, I would burn the directory to DVD and send them physical media to arrange, re-burn, and send back to you... If you were running Linux you could set them up with an account and chroot their file system to limit the access, but since you are using Windows you do not have that option...
