Sharing files

Megassini — Fri, 30 Nov 2001 10:57:38 GMT

I have to define a depot HP-UX 11 server that will receive weekly 1 file, each from 6 sites.
I'm searching for a solution to setting up a secure way to share the files from the depot server to several NT clients. The NT clients are from 6 sites. One of this site is the master site and must have access to all of the files. The other sites must only have access to one portion of the files.
Please, suggest me a secure way to share files.

Hello,

Probably Samba or CIFS/9000 will be the solution for u. ( http://www.samba.org ).

Thanks Joseph,
But I can't install any software.

Can you help me defining a secure way to access the depot server with ftp?

Hello again,

There is Sftp available but I haven't tried that.

I am using a script to do ftp automatically through a cron job. The permission of script file I am keeping as 500 (read and execute) for root.

my script is as follows.
ftp -n 195.112.26.111 <user affadmin affadmin01
ascii
cd biomni
prompt
put P_Action_Serco*
bye
EOF

Hope this may help u.

Regards
Joe.
