Hi,

Our Server contains a folder for each of our clients, and we are looking for a way to make certain files available to each client via the web. Can this been done on SBS, perhaps using Sharepoint? The files are changed regularly, so ideally I don't want to have to upload to a website every time changes are made.

If anybody could point me in the right direction, that would be great.

Regards,

Neil

Without going into all the details, I would do a parallel install of Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 on your server. Make sure that you don't overwrite the WSS 2.0 install that is already there with SBS. WSS 3.0 would be easier to use to do what you are talking about doing than WSS 2.0.

You would be able to require credentials (forms-based authentication) and could dictate whether files could be uploaded or not.
