This would seem to be the most promising but you are right: the clients are a problem. I don't understand why nobody is interested in making them better. They do work, mostly... but you run into various silly problems. ACL's on the server side of things can be dealt with in several ways. I never need terribly complex ACL's anyway. Normal user/group perms usually suffices and you can implement that in Apache. > IPsec - complicated to set up, use, and support clients Everything else you mentioned was some sort of file sharing technology but this is a VPN technology. We are currently using an IPsec VPN to run CIFS through. It stinks. Complicated, failure prone, etc. I would really prefer to do webdav over https. If the webdav clients were better a lot of people could get rid of their VPN and save a TON on support costs. I am working towards testing out webdav here again even if it is only in conjunction with CIFS. Our people might tolerate some webdav weirdness if they could get rid of the burden of dealing with the VPN. sshfs is an option if you are a Mac/Linux shop. But of course most people still use Windows. Foiled again. I use sshfs to access the company file server from my Linux workstation. It's great. -- Tracy Reed http://tracyreed.org
