    Hi all,

    Is it possible to setup users to access shared files on a sbs 2003 server from the internet? I dont really want to use VPN.

    I'm sure there are downloadable web server solutions out there, that allow them a web interface to their files using LDAP authentication. Painfully insecure though unless you implement an HTTPS solution, which may be just as expensive as VPN.

    Any reason why you don't want to use VPN?

    An ssh server would work, probably. I don't recall whether there's an ssh file-system thingy for Windows tho; you might have to use an ftp-like app.

    if you're really against vpn you could serve them from a secure ftp server

    and have the clients use something like sftp to connect to it, i think most of them can use https/ssh etc
