Need some guidence here with FTP and DFS or another possible solution. Environment and Objective: I have a home lan with several computers that are sharing a broadband connection through a hardware firewall/router similar the the infamous linksys DSL router. I am able to open ports on this device and forward requests to these ports to a specific computer. I would like to establish an FTP server to share some files with friends but I would like these files to reside on another computer within my LAN and not on the box running FTP Server. I am using Win2k Server on both boxes. Results of testing: I can establish the FTP server and gain access to it from the internet. This works, but I'm having trouble figuring out a way to give FTP users access to files on another computer. I created a folder and shared it on the FTP server box and made this the DFS root as well. I've created DFS links in this root to the other computer's shares and this works when browsing the DFS Root share from the network however FTP clients cannot get access to the DFS Link folders. You can see them listed in the ROOT but when I try to access them I get access denied. I believe this is related to the design of DFS and not being able to access the DFS links from the local file system (microsoft article Q246888). My thinking is that FTP server is accessing the root through the local file system (makes sense) and therefore FTP users can't get access to the DFS links. Anyone know of another way to accomplish this securely? I don't really want to host any files on the FTP server itself so if it gets hacked, broken into, or brought down it's no loss. Does WarFTP have a feature to do this ? Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.
