Security Basics: Re: Accessing the File server

["Gabriel Orozco" <gabriel_orozco () mx sumida com>]

Hello

Sorry for the recommendation, I saw the smb2www package in the samba site
and assumed was the one I am using, but didn't remember the name until I did
check inside the apache directory :-)

this is the project:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpsamba/

but surfing I just found a java -very complete- client which can be used
inside your browser and has also good advantages, you can check both and
decide:
http://jcifs.samba.org/


With Regards
Gabriel
