[SATLUG] file access via web & samba ?

[twistedpickles]

A friend wants the capabilteies to share files from one central
location from within a windows network and also want access to files
via http.

In the past what I have done is setup samba and openvpn to connect
from outside my network. I tried recommending this similar setup but
my friend mentioned he wants access from any computer with out having
to setup a vpn connection.

I thought of setting up samba for his local network and using apache
or tux with .htaccess to restrict access via http.

Any thoughts or suggestions?
