If yuo are willing to pay something, there is a great app at
www.beeweeb.com that is even better, it maps a drive over the network,
caches the files, and uses SSL for security. Pretty neat.

Subject: Access to files over the web....

>From the looks of it this question doesnt seem off topic, since this
seems 
to be a catch all, but if it is please forgive me inadvance and let me
know. 
Now, with that out of the way....

Im trying to conjure up some way to grant users access to files via a 
standard web brower. Im open to suggestions, and I may be over
complicating 
things because there could be a simple solution that I just dont know
about. 
If there is Id like to hear it... but for now heres the current idea....

I would like to somehow present a microsoft network share on a machine
thats 
in a NT domain out to the world via https so as to give users with
standard 
web browsers the ability to upload and download files from that windows 
share.

I thought that possibly I could craft something up using samba,
smbmount, 
winbind pam, and the usermin file management module, and so far I have
built 
a redhat 7.3 box with samba and winbindd running.

After adjusting PAM for things like /etc/pam.d/login and /etc/pam.d/sshd
I 
can now login to the redhat box using windows NT domain credentials,
which 
is great, but attempts to modify /etc/pam.d/usermin similarly doenst
seem to 
work, ie I get login failures and am unable to log into usermin with
windows 
nt domain credentials.

I suppose Im asking 2 questions... 1) is what im doing possible/make
sense 
2) is there some other simpiler way to go about providing some such 
functionality?

Your advice would be much appreciated...
