[lug] Cable and Samba

[Gregory Haggquist]

Thanks for the info.

Presently we do have OpenSSH running and this works fine with the Cable
connection. Only problem is as you pointed out the files can not be edited
in place.

I will look into WebDAV, we have Apache web server running.

Thanks again for the help.

As an alternative to Windows SMB, you might try setting up an ssh server on
the linux side and installing WinSCP on their boxes.  It's more secure and
probably more suitable for low speed / WAN links.  The disadvantage is that
files cannot generally be edited "in place" from the network location.  They
instead need to be copied back and forth.  Some users can live with that if
the files are relatively small.

A more seamless alternative is WebDAV.  It enables remote filesystems over
HTTP and can be provided by an apache server on your end.  See the apache
WebDAV module docs and the MS docs for more info.
