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

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

Question, what is the best to go about this?

NextCloud?

This was a serious suggestion, but maybe it needs more description. It's not hard to setup, one person can set a certain folder on their computer to automatically sync with the server or else you can upload to it.  You either create another user for the workstations or you can create a link that they can use to access the files.

Hmmmmm.  Sounds interesting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nextcloud

       Nextcloud is a suite of client-server software for
       creating and using file hosting services. Nextcloud
       is free and open-source, which means that anyone is
       allowed to install and operate it on their own private
       server devices.

       Nextcloud application functionally is similar to
       Dropbox, Office 365 or Google Drive, but can be used
       on home-local computers or for off-premises file
       storage hosting.

And it say is had "end-to-end encryption".

And even better:
       $ dnf whatprovides nextcloud

       nextcloud-10.0.4-8.fc31.noarch : Private file sync and share server
       Repo        : fedora
       Matched from:
       Provide    : nextcloud = 10.0.4-8.fc31

Oh look e here:
       Clients: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS

And I can set the firewall to only allow those five clients to use it.

I like it!  Thank you!
