I think you can do some drive mapping via WebDAV as well, though I can't remember how. I don't think I have the client installed on my windows box. You really don't want samba server directly accessable via the internet, so a VPN solution is needed. However, windows file sharing over a slow connection is usually dodgy. If you're not sitting on the same network, I wouldn't bother. :) SFTP and SNFS have clients that allow drive mapping using SSH, and speed wise these are slightly better, but not by an incredible amount. > When given the choice between a Linux server and a Windows server there > are few times I could imagine choosing the Windows server. Oh there are plenty of times in the real business world were you will opt for Windows over Linux. ;-) -- Andrew S.
