My company uses FileMaker as its database solution. We just got a Mac Mini Server, and we are using FileMaker Server 11 Advanced to host our database over our internal network. We are planning on making a lot of changes to our database's structure, but it's not always going to be posible for us to physically be at the office to do so; therefore, my boss wants me to figure out how we can remotely access our hosted database. The only system in this process that's a Mac is the server - we use Windows machines - so that will have to be taken into account.
Any and all suggestions will be welcomed. Thanks in advance.
We do remote development all the time using FileMaker Pro connected directly to FileMaker Server on port 5003, and it works great. It also helps spot performance problems early during the development process, because if it's slow when you develop it, you've got an architecture issue that needs to be fixed.
Citrix / Terminal services is of course another good option, but it's certainly not a requirement.
