Remember the business vs. IT factors. Where I am now, the engineers have an ftp site. No drama.
Where I was before, the business folks had Ricoh's set for scan-to-email, because they "got" email, across variable devices, and "got" "if I scan it, Joe will read it". I don't know if that's applicable here, but I'd be reluctant to suggest scan to folder to an awful lot of my current clients, were it to come up.

If the issue is "don't want generic accounts to have access to everything", do what we do: - Account a member of "Domain Guests" group - Account not a member of any other groups - Account can only logon to FTP server - FTP service restricted by IP address - Permissions restricted such that the account can only create, not read back or modify You could go further with a non-MS-IIS FTP server and not use a Windows account at all, and have it locked to a restricted directory. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
