Remote Scanning Possibilities
I have an office location with an xp node setup for Terminal Services connection for a home user. That user has a Vista Ultimate machine at home with a brother MFC 220 Printer Scanner Connected.
I want this user to be able to scan a document at home yet have it saved on the computer in the office. Currently I have them scanning a document then emailing it to themselves then they recieve it on the terminal service client and upload it to the database.
So my question is.... Can you scan to a terminal services client? If not is there any software out there that will allow it. The only other option I see is setting up the home computer with ftp access and having them download from the client. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, its a little pricy but probably worth it.
I had thought of purchasing a license for RemoteScan until I read this on their Legal Page (http://www.remote-scan.com/legal.php)
