Samba to web
Hello. I'm in need of some suggestion about what software to use: I have a Samba server which I need to make visibile to users outside of its network. The users will be known (and the same who work from inside), so they will use the same credentials they directly use with Samba and should see, from the outside, the same folders they see from inside. The only strange requirement is that, from the outside, they should only be able to read, not write. VPNs are not a good choice: users are not teechies and they can't set them up themselves; OTOH I don't have access to the client computers, which could also change over time or be occasional stations. Furthermore I don't think I can achieve read-only behaviour this way. I was thinking more about some kind of web interface and I came up with some search results: _ smb2www was in the port tree, but removed a couple of years ago; maybe I could try to download and hack it; _ there's SMB Web Client (http://sourceforge.net/projects/smbwebclient/) _ Davenport (which brings WebDav in), _ Others? Before I start digging them all, has anyone faced this task before? Any hint? bye Thanks av. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Granted, this isn't exactly what you wanted, and you may end up having to maintain two sets of settings, but that could be a smaller investment than setting up something like one of the above. That said, if you do end up using one of the solutions you mentioned (or similar), it would be great if you could provide some details (perf, your number of users, typical load, etc).
