CIFS - the breakdown please

[jollymon]

Hello,

I'm always amazed at the new features and integrations alfresco offers, but need a 123 on CIFS, how it can help me, how to integrate it with Ubuntu 10.10, and if i can use it to link remote ftp servers to alfresco share document libraries. Also anyone with JungleDrive integration ideas?

Thanks,

-J

Err… cifs is nothing to do with ftp.    However alfresco does also contain a ftp server which may be what you are asking.   You can expose your alfresco server via ftp and/or ftps and have remote ftp clients access your documents.

As for JungleDrive and a quick browse of their website you could use it for "backing up" an alfresco content store.    However you may be better off running alfresco "in the cloud" or as a managed application, if you are interested in a "hosted" solution.
