Hi All,
I have a scenario where I have a Fedora server at
one location and five Windows workstations, each
at a different location.
The customer wants to give the five remote workstations
the ability to view (not edit) certain documents.
Question, what is the best to go about this?
vsftp seems to over complicate things.
Your advice?
Samba is out of the question.
Many thanks,
-T

This was a serious suggestion, but maybe it needs more description.
It's not hard to setup, one person can set a certain folder on their
computer to automatically sync with the server or else you can upload to
it. You either create another user for the workstations or you can
create a link that they can use to access the files.

Hmmmmm. Sounds interesting.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nextcloud
Nextcloud is a suite of client-server software for
creating and using file hosting services. Nextcloud
is free and open-source, which means that anyone is
allowed to install and operate it on their own private
server devices.
Nextcloud application functionally is similar to
Dropbox, Office 365 or Google Drive, but can be used
on home-local computers or for off-premises file
storage hosting.
And it say is had "end-to-end encryption".
And even better:
$ dnf whatprovides nextcloud
Last metadata expiration check: 8 days, 5:37:51 ago on Thu 09
Apr 2020 08:59:40 PM PDT.
nextcloud-10.0.4-8.fc31.noarch : Private file sync and share server
Repo : fedora
Matched from:
Provide : nextcloud = 10.0.4-8.fc31
Oh look e here:
Clients: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS
And I can set the firewall to only allow those five clients to use it.
I like it! Thank you!

I wonder if the new package doesn't have that provide. There's a

nextcloud.com wants a ton of money per year. But

but these are for version 13. We are on version 10
That is the same link which was provided by Samuel.
Is there any reason to suspect that version 13 clients aren't backward compatible with
version 10 server?

I wonder why we are still on version 10, if they
are on version 13? Did our intrepid testers stop
something awful from coming through?

Hope they work for version 10! I will find out shortly.

nextcloud was kind of on hold in Fedora for a while. There are builds
for 18, but I don't know why they aren't available. You can get them
from koji:

I have been using their tarball installed version for a while because of
the lack of updates in Fedora. It can update itself when new versions
are released. Now that there is a new version in Fedora, I'll look into
trying to switch back to that.

Try to stick with sshd as it is generally the first service to be installed
that
provides network access to files. Create a chroot jail for the user(s)

Many editors have support for scp.

Hey.
I know I'm coming into this late. Does your client have a "budget"? Is he
able/willing to allow users to access/view the docs via browser?
I'm fairly certain there are paid services that will get you what you're
looking for at a "reasonable" cost. You didn't say how many people (or how
many times, or how many docs) will go into the mix. I also think there
might be content web/mobile open source apps to allow docs to be
viewed/checked out - with viewing via browser.

You haven't said what kind of docs. Do they need to be a specific

By far the easiest solution is to use one of the commercial cloud
providers such as Dropbox or Google Drive. I'd certainly consider those
before rolling my own solution, as long as they meet your requirements.

There are also secure file sharing services used by financial companies,
layers, etc. The ones I've encountered worked with a web browser.
File sharing means users will download files as opposed to just viewing
remote content so always seeing the current version on the server.
NextCloud uses WebDAV. My former work blocked WebDAV at the firewall:
https://www.networkworld.com/article/2202909/-webdav-is-bad---says-securi...
Windows 10 Pro has an NFSv3 client that works well on my LAN inside Windows
Explorer.
You could use an ssh tunnel: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/788423 (putty
has an option
"don't start a shell or command" when creating tunnels).

Since I just finished going through this, I'll add my 2 cents. Google Drive
didn't work for me, even though I've already got a Google account. This is
because there is no syncing client for Linux, and that's what most of my
machines are. I understand that there is a new 3rd party "Gdrive" client; I
will have to look into that when I get time. Dropbox has recently reduced
the number of allowed devices to 2 without a paid account, which caused me
to start looking at other services. Never looked at NextCloud. My personal
choice was SpiderOak, because they store your data encrypted so that even
their own employees can't see it. So I figured if I was going to have to
have a paid account anyway, I'd use that. The only drawback to SpiderOak is
that the Android client is read-only. This is intentional due to the lack
of security on Android devices, but this could make it a non-starter for
some (such as my wife, who does absolutely everything on her phone; she has
a Linux laptop but only uses it for things where she needs more screen real
estate). I also use Amazon S3 as an archive, because it is very cheap if
you use the tier where writing is easy but restoring is slower and costs.
But it's good for storing stuff I don't want to lose (such as encrypted
copies of my GnuCash data file, all our photos and videos).
I'm not claiming I know best about all this, just some data points.

Yes, it's ironic that Google don't provide a proper (non-browser)
syncing tool for Linux, given that their backend runs on Linux.
However, there is a commercial syncing client called Insync (
https://www.insynchq.com/), which I've used for several years. It's far
from perfect but it works for me. A personal use perpetual license is
not expensive.
