Hello,

So I'm in rather a muddle of an issue but I'll do my best to explain the current situation and what I'm hoping to achieve.

So currently, I have a web server with around 100 websites on it, this web server is stored in a warehouse some 200 miles away from my UK office.
I have a UK office with around 20 computers that link to a local server which has no access from outside of the office - LAN only.
I have a Kenyan office that has no access to the local UK server.

I'm looking to implement some method to allow someone to use a website (stored on the web server) to access files on the local UK server, regardless of where they are. I assume I would do this through some sort of VPN or something?
I'm looking to do this without moving all the files on the UK local server on to the web server since the UK staff would than need to go through the hassle of constantly uploading and downloading files to the web rather than locally.

Any advice or ideas would be much appreciated.
Of course, if it's not possible then I'd like to know also.

Many thanks.

First, you need an Internet connection in your UK office so that server can be accessible. After that, you have a ton of options.
