Abstract
A remote access manager protects the privacy of identified local file system content while a local computer is being accessed by a remote administrator. A local user inputs a privacy policy which identifies restricted access levels for specified files, file types and folders. During remote administration sessions, the remote access manager intercepts attempts to access the local file system, and enforces the privacy policy. Thus, the remote administrator's access to the local file system content is restricted according to the security policy.
