I am planning to provide remote access from Internet to a windows 2003 domain
controller.User-ids, NTFS permissions are all configured. The objective is file sharing and access. Files will need to be copied. The machine has valid Internet IP address and is sitting behind a Firewall. I would like to keep solution independent of Firewall.This will be accessed by roaming users. I am thinking of something like 0penssh for windows or maybe just GUI based Secure-FTP Challenges I am facing ------------------------------------ Authentication should be strong. Something more than a password. [ No budget for RSA securiD :-))) ] Encryption for user-crentials/data access Options considered ---------------------------------- I read W2K3 L2TP/IPSEC - looks complex. Terminal services - File copy is not simple and also you require Application Mode license. The number of remote users - less than 100 Cost effective , easy to implement and easy to manage solution sought
