    You can try a vpn. If you think that it may cost to much look into
    using freeSwan. You can find more about it at freeSwan.org or
    freshmeat.net. You can also use secure ftp over ssh. It all depends
    how tech savory your users are and how much they are willing to go
    through to get the files they want. For the secure ftp look at a site
    called Vandyke.com

    Subject: Accessing the File server

    Hi There,
    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 will involve running web server which I don't want to
    do.
    Is there any other solution out there ???

    Thanks,

    Kanwar Sidhu
