Hi All,

I have a scenario where I have a Fedora server at
one location and five Windows workstations, each
at a different location.

The customer wants to give the five remote workstations
the ability to view (not edit) certain documents.

What security concerns does the customer have?   What version(s) 
of Windows?   What format are the documents?  Do you need to
log views?   Does the client want a particular Windows file viewer?
 

Question, what is the best to go about this?
vsftp seems to over complicate things.

Your advice?


Try to stick with sshd as it is generally the first service to be installed that 
provides network access to files.   Create a chroot jail for the user(s) 
who will view the documents.

Many editors have support for scp.

(The FSF has quite robust Windows emacs binaries).
