Calendar Synchronisation, Workplace <-> Home

Hello, there is an issue that has been bothering me for some time now.

At work, i have my mail account connected to the company's Exchange Server,
and of course everything (mails, contacts, calendars, etc) is working
perfectly.

Now, at home, in the Office i have installed there, i have another calendar
with my personal reminders and similar stuff (my set-up at home is not
connected to any mail accounts or an exchange server or what-so-ever, i only
use it for the calendar and its functions).

What i want to accomplish is, to have my calendar that i have at home being
synchronized so i can view (and change) it at work too (independently from
the company's Exchange Server of course).

The way i was thinking was to have the calendar not being stored locally on
my machine at home, but to have it stored on a remote FTP server or similar
(remote ftp and tool to simulate a local drive with a connection to it is
already available).

How can i solve this?

Thank you in advance.
 
What version of Office Outlook? There are few good options (but several
workarounds) for older versions - Outlook 2007 handles it much better.

If you have outlook 2007 on both ends, publish one or both calendars and
subscribe the other calendar to it... office online will probably work the
best for you. If you don't need hourly updates, email the calendar to your
email address or save the ics after starting the email and take it to work
on a usb stick (most will be small enough to fit on a floppy).

I am not certain if this is what i am looking for.
As mentioned, the two workstations to be connected are not in the same
network. Also, i don't have a spare machine to install an IIS and a WebDav on.
Isn't it possible to have Outlook store all of it's information concerning
the specific calendar in a file (which is saved on the FTP, in the way
written in the first post?) I did see the archiving functions, this however
will not update the calendar at work when i changed it at home or vice-versa.

As far as Office Online goes, i already tried that, and it seems you can
only "publish" it for others to see, not for others to import and change it
in their own outlook ("others" meaning myself in a different location).

If i misunderstood something, please tell. Thanks a lot.

No. Access to a PST is active and two-way. FTP protocols simply don't
allow that type of access. However, nothing prevents you from closing
Outlook and FTPing the PST to a server so that others can download it and
use it at their location.
 
As written in the first post, the FTP ressource is behind network drive
mapped to a drive letter (X: for an example), done by a tool.
