As a rule, we require external developers to access our servers using OpenVPN which provides a simple means of getting secure access without having to deal with multiple server components.
and, at work, our GNOC guys use SSL-VPN's from Juniper, which for business partners are highly restricted such that they can ONLY access the specific server and services they have rights to. while I'm not in the group that manages this, the guys who do are on my floor, and tell me that the global management console makes managing all this a breeze... we have dozens of firewalls as we're a 50000 employee global manufacturing company, this is all under central control.
you mentioned FTP and FTPS... I prefer whenever possible to use scp/sftp, as its much easier to forward through a NAT/Masquerade firewall. I have no idea if Dreamweaver supports this, however.
Hi John,
Good pointers but i'm not sure i'm up to setup a chrooted ssh environment. I tried that a couple of times (not on this network) and it wasn't very practical. I'm not saying i'm an expert at that and it may very well be my fault if i found it cumbersome.
vsftpd is supposed to support FTPS so it would be perfect in my situation.
Thanks!
