If you use C&CZ storage, you now have the new option to access these via network protocols other than SMB (for Windows and macOS) and NFS (for Linux), namely:

  • sftp: a secure variant of FTP
  • https: a (read-only) view of the share for browsers
  • webdavs: a (read-write) view of the share for browsers and webdav clients
  • s3: a read/write view using the Simple Storage Service (S3)

Each of these may be active at the same time, and optionally can have an end date, so you can “open up” a share for writes from another organisation which then automatically “closes” at the end date. For sftp, authentication is done via an SSH key. The other protocols are authenticated with a username and password. These credentials are not tied to any person and are easily revoked or re-generated if the need arises.

This service is based on rclone.

Please contact us if you want more information or would like to have this configured for your shares.
