Hi George,<br>
<br>
Your Techs will need to put the server concerned on the other side of
the DMZ (ie outside the firewall). <br>
<br>
Why you would set up a 'web server' that wasn't exposed to the web I'm
not sure I understand. Was the server intended just to run your
Intranet??<br>
<br>
It's a fairly simple operation to open up a port to accommodate this,
your ISP will be able to assist.<br>
<br>
Obviously this being the case you will need to lock down your security
on the server well, eg if you are using Apache2 then link it's login
creds to your active directory (there is heaps on google and Apache's
own site on how to do this) and keep Apache update etc etc. your Techs
should be conversant with protocols for the security of web servers<br>
<br>
You should then have no difficulty FTPing to the server. If you are
using a Linux based server it is probably advisable to create an FTP
user and lock down the permissions on the folder you serve the web page
from (var/www in Linux by default) to only allow ftp to that user.<br>
<br>
In terms of other ways to access the server there are quite a few, the
most common are SSH and VNC. SSH is a command line based access
protocol and VNC is a remote desktop type session but neither of these
are particularly suited to transferring large numbers of files from an
outside source. Personally I use Filezilla for ftp and have no problems.<br>
<br>
Anyhow my 2 cents if I've understood right, hope this helps.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>

<title>FTP to school internal server...?</title>
<font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span
style="font-size: 11pt;">Hi,<br>
<br>
We are currently updating our website and we need to be able to access
the server from outside the school’s internal network via FTP or some
other way. Our techies are saying it is very difficult to do due to the
fact that the department has a particular firewall which disallows this
to occur. Our IT manager has attempted to use SRAS School client to no
avail at this stage.<br>
Is there anyone out there that is currently able to FTP to their
internal server from outside of the school? Is there another method? Or
does someone know who there is to contact from the department regarding
this matter?<br>
Any help and advice would be appreciated. <br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
