Does anyone in this group have private student file access across campus with
PC, Mac and UNIX boxes? Students in their residences have mostly PC and Mac
machines and in public labs we have mostly UNIX, but some labs have PC and Mac
machines, especially for multimedia. Is there an AFS-like product that will
permit secure file access across platforms? Especially for multimedia data,
gobs and gobs of it, we would like students who work in their rooms to able to
access their private data, like they do at all UNIX boxes across campus. Right
now they have to carry MO cartridges. If not across platforms, is there a PC
product to do this without ftp. I'm not looking for a peer to peer network,
either, as there isn't usually much security there.
