Re: Secure Methods of file transfer over network shares

Phillip,

So using this method it does not send the password to the server at
all? You would think at some point it would have to send the password
to be able to authenticate.

Do you know what it sends or can you point me in the direction of some
documents that would tell me?

Thank you for your help.

Eric

Integrated Authentication just means that it automatically uses the

Callenge/Response is the method via which the authentication happens.  When
the user is prompted for credentials they are simply doing manually what the
Integrated part would have done otherwise,...but the Ch/Resp still happens
as far as I know.

Thank you for the response Phillip. I should have explained alittle
better how we are set up. Even though we are within the same
univeristy we manange our own network where as the department whos
website we are hosting is not managed by us. We are not on the same
domain. We use Active Directory and they use Novell The only thing
would be we are on the same IP range as the rest of campus but they
are 2 completely differnet networks.

What we would like to do is share the folder under wwwroot that holds
their website files, with them over windows share such as setting up a
user account on our server and than have them map the drive using the
user account.

And in that case would it be encrypted or sent as clear text?

Thanks again Phillip

If it is done through normal file shares then it is doing Windows
Challenge/Response with usually Integrated Authentication. So, not only is
the password not in clear text, the password doesn't even go over the wire
to begin with,...that is what Challenge/Response is all about.

The worst way to do it would be via FTP,...which does send the whole thing
in Clear Text.

Hello, I am not sure if this is the right forum for this, if not could
you please point me in the right direction.

I work at a large Univeristy and we are taking over hosting a website
for another department. What we are looking for is a secure way for
the users of the other department to transfer the files to our web
server using network share.

When you transfer files this way does it encrypt your user name and
password or does it send them across as clear text? If it is clear
text is there a way to encrypt it?

Thank You- Hide quoted text -
