I think Wayne McKerley's solution is best for most appraisers, unless they are computer gurus. Set up an account with a company like www.crystaltech.com and use FTP to have everyone upload and download files.

In my opinion, anyone who set's up a server should be licensed to do so. Servers which are not set up and maintained correctly become havens to viruses like CODE-RED and wind up infecting other users on the system. Letting a hosting company do this for you means that THEY are going to maintain the firewalls, update the software on a regular basis and provide virus protection (you still need virus protection on your own computers, because they aren't going to catch everything).

I personally have encountered too many who set up Windows servers, without keeping patches up-to-date or running anti-virus programs. In fact, it is really surprising how many server "administrators" think that all there is to security is setting up user accounts and passwords - and then installing an Anti-Virus program that's maybe two years old. What is so shocking is that they REALLY believe their servers are secure. They aren't - and worse they create problems for other IPs.

Updates are update. If you install Norton Antivirus 2001 on a server it is still ok... it just have to scan your hard disk drive.
The update for NAV 2001 or 2003 are the same...

You can install a two year old version of an anti-virus program - but make sure that it pulls in the latest Virus Definition file off of their web site. You can configure many antivirus programs to check for the latest virus definitions automatically. But some people, with some anti-virus programs, do not have automatic update configured. Then - knock-knock, they eventually get a call from their ISP (or possibly some irate server administrator) informing them that their server is infected and that they are going to be knocked off-line until they get it cleaned. I've done this a couple of occasions. In one case it was an H.S. educational authority Iowa - apparently some teacher had set up a server without any Windows or NAV updates, - it had become infected with a particularly nasty virus.

Very interesting.

My server earthlink(formerly IPA) has someplace in one of the screens (FTP)

I may have downloading something year ago that way but had forgotten about it.

Someone told me that was the way to send large files(theirs was AUtocad)

Is that somethig we(others) have already built in?
