Despite the easy to use Remote Access web site that Windows Home Server ships with today, it is far more complicated to use than the normal file transfer mechanism people are used to when they are on the same network as their Home Server... UNC shares where they can access a share using the \\server\sharename syntax and easily drag and drop files to and from the server.
