[Nottingham] SAMBA websharing

[David Wolfson]

I'll take that as a yes then!  

>From having a brief read around, it looks like the VPN is going to be the best way to get a mapped drive without the security equivalent of 'bend over and drop 'em!'. I've been doing my best to see what I can get away with as far a uni IT policy goes, so it's got to be worth a try.  

Once time allows and I'll try it and let you knw how it goes (by that I mean come back for help ;-) )

Cheers,

Dave

Can you use winscp? This gives sftp access (which should work if you have
ssh access) and a windows explorer style view of the remote filesystem.
Its not a mapped drive letter, but its a start.
