We have an engineer who lives 200+ miles from the office.
Has anyone used a web based file manager for something similar? If so, which one and how successful was it?
Another thought is to use a vpn, though satelite uploads tend to drop packets and cause havok with vpn servers (or so I'm told). If this is not true it could be a solution. If it is the solution than would I need to give the engineer a shell account and chroot--or would there be another way for him to access/edit samba shares I'm still unclear as to how this would work.
Any thoughs on how our electrical engineer can remotely access his drawings and edit them? We also want some sort of secure login. Clients dont matter that much, we mostly just want to protect the server. No account numbers or anything, just many hours($'s) in creating the files.
