Heya folks, I need some advise,
Client of mine has 3 or 4 external consultants that need access to various sub folders on a shared drive on their Windows 2008 server. Consultants already have VPN access via a Sonicwall firewall.
Now I'm aware of share versus NTFS permissions, however these various sub folders and access rights required might change/update/swap around depending on the consultant or project my client is involved with or in at any particular time and having to train my client on setting permissions accordingly or me having to connect via VPN and do so with little notice is proving painful
So I'm looking for a free/paid solution/application whereby my client can simply make X:\Dir1\Dir2\Dir3 available at the click of a mouse button to any one external consultant and they only get read/write access to Dir3 (ie: only the contents of Dir3 are visible & accessible with read & write permissions, similar I would think to FTP whereby one logs in and Dir3 is effectively the "root" of the FTP share). Something explorer or web based would be good. Nothing FTP or to do with drive mapping, etc either.
Bearing in mind it's for 3 or 4 people my client isn't looking to spend massive amounts of $$$.
Ta!
