Windows Web interface for file system windows server

Does anyone know a piece of software for Windows server 2011 which can run as a webserver and allow external access to specific folders.

The idea is to have a bunch of folders i want to make available on the Internet for people to access with a simple login interface, so different users would have access to different folders.

Thanks in advance all

FTP ?

 

If it's SBS 2011 then the feature is already there with OWA. Or you could use VPN connection straight to the server.

 

Maybe webdav? Then you can let them access the data like a network share as it can be mapped to appear as such. It works well enough and should be pretty straight forward for most users.

 

Options are:

Remote web workplace on SBS should give you folder access,
Look into OwnCloud
FTP maybe
build something of your own?

 

One thing to remember about FTP is that your login details are sent in the clear, so it's quite easy for someone to capture your credentials.

 

If it's 2012 and you mistyped you can simple install the Remote Access role and it will install a site with login for you.

2011/2008/2003 SBS was Remote Web Workspace

 

It's for some clients and really needs to be browser based for ease of use.

I will check out OWA does it offer an html interface I could customise

I will have a look into webdav now

I will check those all out now

Yeah it's 2011 SBS, but it's not remote access I want

Basically I'd like to share certain files with clients and give them a browser login with access

Thanks for all the input guys I will check out some of the suggestions

Sharepoint would do it as well

 

you bad man, are you trying to give him a headache, you know it can be a pain when it all goes wrong

 

Like a system I've ever installed has gone wrong

 

Hahaha, You're both right. Sharepoint is a pain even when everything goes right.

Back on Topic, I second OwnCloud.
