Dear listers, I have a great number of Dutch radio plays, that I collected over the last 25 years, that I'd like to share over the internet with a small group of very interested people. I once had an ftp server under windows, but that software is hopelessly outdated now, and I'd like not to use windows anyway because I now have 2 macs in my home, which is why I'm asking here. I'll describe what I'm hoping to do below.
The folders I would like to share out, reside on different drives. In my windows server software, I could create path mappings to deal with that. The windows server had some 90 members, each with their own user account, password and privileges. That was very handy, because for a few very close folks, I could allow them access to more material, and I myself could even add material to the server remotely. I once tried setting up an sftp server using just my mac, having enabled outside access through my router, and then enabling remote login. The big problem with that method, was that as a client, I could climb up outside my initial home directory, and do all kinds of stuff all over my system remotely. Not good if you open that up to the world. What would you advise me in this situation? How do I make a large file collection across multiple drives available to the outside world securely, while having a separate user login account for each user? Do I need to get the server OS10 software for this purpose? Which server method and software for a mac would you recommend? I'm very interested to have a server back online, because my collection keeps growing over time and people keep asking for access. I'm now dropboxing all the time, but this is way too intensive on my part. I'd rather have something automated running, from which registered people can get what they are interested in. Any ideas?
