Ok -- First off -- Thanks to all who helped me getting samba working -- it works perfectly and is very little effort to administer, and through the help of one of our graduates, I got NFS up and running tonight so I am sharing home directories across the network -- also very nice In the course of our discussion of SAMBA someone suggested that I am actually doing a disservice to our students by allowing them to post files to their web sites over samba shares, and that I should actually make them do it via FTP because that is much more likely how they will be doing it. After some consideration, I have reached the following conclusion, I will have my Front Page class (8th graders) using FTP, and the 9th Grade class (Dreamweaver) using direct file transfers. Now comes the problem -- How to make ftp work right for this scenario. I have previously installed PROFTPD on the webserver, and have been using it for just myself for remote access for website work etc. When I login, I must supply the full path to the proper folder (not a big deal for me) (totally confusing for an 8th grader) I am open to ditching proftpd if necessary, and going to some other form if that's better, but I need some direction in where to go. I have discovered that the PROFTPD config file is similar to apache, but im a bit lost on how to achieve what I want. Ideally, the users would be able to authenticate against the Active Directory, but if not they could have a separate username and password within PROFTPD.
