[LUG] School file servers

 

Hi guys,

Does anyone have experience with deploying some sort of file share for
a school? Preferably a UK based 3rd party offers this service, like
"dropbox" or something like that.

Kind regards,

hi kai,

The reason he did not like it is that, the third party might not be
located in UK and also they need to satisfy all the criteria (like the
staff of the third party must have CRB and so on. ), which will
complicate things further ....

The services of the server are:-
-Store a password protected folders for staff and students (i.e the
student will have their own password protected folders and also access
to study or corse materials)
-and basically manage and administer the network

it is not that complicated network really. What ACCD is look for is
to just have a secure server to do the above services.

as in regards to the ac.uk domain name, i only joined the organisation
recently, but the reason they have the org.uk is that they also
operate as a charity, so perhaps that is the reason ACCD has the ac.uk


ÂKind Regards
