Hello guys,
I need to set up a way to share files between my win box and
the rest of the Lan at my department. Recently I set a linux
box to act as a firewall and gateway to share the only one ethernet
connection in my lab, I know a hub would have been a better
solution to share one internet connection but it was sort of
a challenge for a beginner in linux:
LAN *******
internet ******* ******* *******-----* win1*
---------*win *---*win *----*linux* *******
(no prot- ******* ******* *******-----------*******
ection) * win2*
*******
The problem now is that I am no longer able to share files
using the (in)famous network neighborhood, I have thought of
a ftp server but I am afraid of hackers as I still don't have
enough knowledge to properly secure the linux box. Up to now,
I have no services (so no open ports) on this linux but I am
in need of some way to share the files between the two
computers behind the firewall and the rest of the boxes
outside it.
Please help me pointing me to a right solution: is ftp the
way to go?, could it be ssh? (but I don't want to give users
a shell, only need they be able to access some files from my
computer and viceversa).
thanks in advance for your help
