A client has a Samba server running ZFS that's working quite well for what it does. The problem is that a bunch of staff want to work from home and have been using Dropbox and Gmail to share the files - not what we want. Among other things we'd like to have the files stay within Australian jurisdiction. What's a good way for sharing files to Macs and Windows systems over the Internet that's easy to use and relatively secure?
No one has mentioned SFTP yet. You can't fault it for security. WinSCP or whatever can make it look like "normal" FTP. I don't know if there's a more "usable" version (like gnome-vfs's sftp:// URLs) that make them look like local folders. I admit the users probably won't allow it, but you can use it as your low bid so that OpenVPN looks more like a compromise and less like the fiat of the Insane Security Overlord.
