Hi, I work for a company in the north of England and one of our offices in Scotland is using a suse server set up with samba drives for the users to use. I can ftp, telnet and http into this server, what I want to know is, is there any way I can view the server in Glasgow through my network locations??? I am using Windows XP.... Is it possible for me to see the same samba drive as the suers in scotland? and if so how?
Yes. Is the link private or public? If it's private, you should be able to just connect directly. If it's public, then you should really use some kind of secure link - set up a VPN connection between the server and your WinXP box, and then connect directly over that. In fact, if it's public, you shouldn't be using telnet and FTP anyway. -- David Smith Work Email: Dave.Smith@st.com STMicroelectronics Home Email: David.Smith@ds-electronics.co.uk Bristol, England GPG Key: 0xF13192F2
