Share data over the internet

Good afternoon,

Having developed a Filemaker solution as a single user, I now need to collaborate with a colleague over the internet. Is Filemaker server the best way to share a database, maintain synchronicity and avoid problems with two people editing the same data at the same time?

Do i need to have Filemaker hosting or can i run the server on a cable connection (if indeed Filemaker Server is the way to go)

I considered switching to MySQL, but i already have the database in Filemaker and I would by slightly concerned about the security aspect as the data must be kept private.

Thanks in advance for your replies...

FM Server is the best.

However a "normal" copy of FM Pro can also be used, but it lacks the remote admin and automated backup features of FMS.

I'd suggest you try a hosting service first. I believe one of them offers a free trial.
