What is the best and safest way to remotely access a file on a server running NT4.0 from any Desktop or Laptop running WIN98? I do not want to use Remote Desktop, Terminal services, or FTP.

What's wrong with Terminal Services or Remote Desktop? I have used both and think they are pretty slick. Is there some big security breech I'm missing?
btw, https is http (hyper text transfter protocol.. like you see on web sites). The 's' on the end stands for secure. I'm not positive how it's set up.

With Remote Desktop and Terminal Services the user has access to the start menu and so on.

Is the file you want to get in the web root? if so, then http or ftp for non encrypted and if not then you could "share" the file, but I would not leave that enabled for to long...... Sounds like pc anywhere or some other remote software to me...
