Have an iMac and want to be able to remotely access an external HD

[jdl8422]

The title is pretty self explanitory, but I want to be able to access an external HD that is setup at home. I want to be able to access it from school or from work. What are my options. I saw western digital had the mybook world edition, but i read it doesnt work on mac and you have to pay for the service. Any suggestions?

If you have a .mac account, and can wait for Leopard, it might be the answer. The quote below was pasted from the Leopard feature description at
