.Net Efs

[Newbietech]

Hello,

I'm planning to set up a MS .Net server which will basically be a data storage server and a file server. I'm not sure if it is possible but is it possible or safe to do it because there will be incoming connection from outside sources to retrieve files?

Also if this is the way it is going to be set up, is it possible to provide the external users (not from the LAN) that are connecting to the file server a private key for the EFS feature providing I can use different public keys on different folders/files.

Sorry if it is confusing, I am confused. w00t

Thanks

You can setup an FTP Server, where others can connect using your network address on the lan, and IP address outside the lan.

You can setup an anonymous account, so people can connect with no user name and password, and look in the ban settings.

Accept only from 192.168.0.*

Lan users will then connect through IE (if preferred) using address: ftp://192.168.0.#:port

Then create a user account for outsiders, where they connect: ftp://user:pass@ip:port

You can choose folders, permissions, etc.
