Here's an interesting question I received about Ricoh scanning

No sure if I understand the question. Are you scanning to a server at a remote location of the same company i.e. satellite office? You would be able to do it if they have a VPN setup between the two sites. If they do not have a VPN I believe you are out of luck.

No, there are two different companies that she owns with two different LAN's and servers.

No you can not scan SMB directly to a folder on a server at two different LAN's. The only way you could scan to a folder on a server is to setup a FTP server on the server and open the Firewall to allow the FTP server to function.

This ^^^^^   This also works internally if you ever run into an older machine that will not scan to windows 8 or 2012 Server.

For Windows 8 and Server 2012 you can upgrade the firmware to fix this problem.  Another option is to install Dropbox at both locations and have them sync to that folder.  This way you scan to the local folder by SMB and with Dropbox it will automatically sync to the other location.
