    Hi Guys,

    I got file server Red Hat Linux that is accessible only inside from my
    organization. I am just wondering is there any kind of secure method so
    that people can access files from the outside world without any hitch
    with security. I was thinking is there any kind of web interface method
    so that people just enter there user names & get access to files. But
    this I think this will involve running web server which I don't want to
    do. The other solution that is in my mind is VPN, but I don’t know how
    to set it up & how secure it is ? Can anybody please point me to some
    URL ? Or Is there any other solution out there ???

    Thanks,

    Kanwar Sidhu
