For additional authentication, maybe have a look at Swivel? (http://www.swivelsecure.com/) Much much cheaper than RSA, hooks into AD easily. Also can use Turing GIF PIN redirection which removes need for tokens but still scrambles PIN every time it is used.

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
