Using Windows 2000, you can make network files available while working offline (for example, while working on a portable computer). Any shared network files or folders, including program files and Web pages, can be made available offline. By first setting up your computer to use Offline Files and then making your files available for offline use, you can disconnect your computer from the network and the files will still be available for use on your computer just as though you were still connected.
When you return your portable computer to its docking station, or when your network connection is restored, changes you made to files on your computer while you were disconnected are synchronized with those on the network.
In addition, you can use Briefcase to save and synchronize network files quickly and easily, using either a Briefcase stored on a portable computer or a Briefcase stored on a removable disk.
