Re: Secure Remote access - windows 2003

Any coding is undesirable.

The product can be configured but absolutely no coding. Does share-point
involve coding again. My resistance to share-point is because it is
heavyweight [ may be my half-knowledge] and my requirement is very specific
and lightweight. I donot want to learn a full-fledged product and install it
for a simple requirement.

I am looking for a point-product [ MS or vendor] that serves my requirement.

and too much else already set to go.

Thanks , that is a good option. Is there a link where I can explore more?

Does this give a folder tree view to the person who connects ? How easy is
the upload.

You do not state which direction or both on the file copy.
Have you considered IIS to provide within SSL file
download/upload at non-anonymous website?
It is a pretty trivial Asp.Net app and pretty clean at
the border and free.

Secure Remote access - windows 2003

I am planning to provide remote access from Internet to a windows 2003
domain

controller.User-ids, NTFS permissions all configured.

The objective is file sharing and access. Files will need to be copied.
The
machine

has valid Internet IP address and is sitting behind a Firewall.

I would like to keep solution independent of Firewall.

This will be accessed by roaming users. I am thinking of something like
0penssh for

windows.or maybe jus GUI based SecureFTP

Challenges

Authentication should be strong. Something more than a password. [ No
budget
for RSA securiD]

Encrytpion for data access

Options considered
----------------------
I read W2K3 L2TP/IPSEC - looks complex.

Terminal services - File copy is not simple and also you require
Application
Mode

license.

Cost effective , easy to implement and easy to manage solution sought
