I'm looking for advice on providing file share access to OSXS 10.4.2. By secure I mean something that encrypts the password sent by the client and something that doesn't let user's have ssh access to the server (or locks down their abilities to go anywhere and run scripts).
I tried using WebDAV via https but was having troubles getting it to work (on the user's volume). I finally gave www more permissions and that seemed to work, but then I realized when you create files/directories through WebDAV the www user seems to own everything.
Can you force FTP via SSL? or allow SSH but not let user's out of their home directory and disallow executing scripts/files? Even so, they could still run all sorts of terminal commands that could tie up the processor and other resources.
