winscp is so, so close. in the "wishlist" on the site it says "* Mount remote directory as drive." if they get that functionality, it will be prefect. until then, it's kinda fun to play with...
I really like the idea of a single executable that contains the entire program....before putty, i hadn't seen that in the intel environment since DOS! actually, this is an important "feature" i forgot to mention earlier...the program must be able to be installed by a user on an NT/XP machine with poweruser privedges. each time a user loggs off, the machine cleans all changes...so it must be installed every time. thanks -matt On Tue, 10 Dec 2002 18:14:36 -0800 (PST), "nate" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > matt said: > > Hi all, > > I need some advice. > > I'd like to have the home directorys on my woody box available to > > machines on the local (NATed) network, and via the internet. > > samba is good for local access...but (i don't think) it can be pushed > > through a NAT-based router. > > > > What is the best package to do such a thing as securely as possible. the > > client software must be able to run on windows machines as well. > > depends what level of access, at my former employer I used WinSCP > for win32 clients, and enforced RSA key logins.
