Ok, I know Google is supposed to be my friend and so on, but this time it hasn't helped much.
Here is the situation. For a small company, we have a server running Ubunut 10.04 Server. Last week, I set it up so that we can use it as a file store and printer share.
The idea is so that we have personal directoies (protected) and a Public drive that all can access.
One of our employees travels frequently, but still could do with accessing the public directory as well as his personal one. He has a Windows PC, so expects to use Windows Explorer for file managing.
The connection to the internet is via modem/router. The modem router also connects the offic e PCs and server.
I can set the modem for NAT &/or port forwarding.
What would be the best solution for this?
When I have looked ofr things like "VPN" I find tutorials for setting up spare PCs as VPN servers and so on. For remote file access, they seem to talk about using command line.
The set up should be someting like this:
Code:
remote PC
|
|
internet
|
|
modem/router
| | |
| | |
server PC PC
| |
File Printer
server
Can someone give me, at least a top level view o fthe set-up I ought to be using?
thanks
