FTP can do pretty much the same thing and doesn't expose his systems as much. He can always share files between the Windows boxen behind his firewall. Plus, he doesn't need samba in there to share his connection with the rest of his network, so... You know how the saying goes, only run what you need :) Emmanuel At 07:38 PM 9/11/00 -0700, Caleb Walker wrote: >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > >On Mon, 11 Sep 2000, Chris Hill wrote:- >-#On Mon, 11 Sep 2000, Caleb Walker wrote: ># >#> If you want to share files with win98 you need samba.
