    Winserver has a great web interface so they don't have to learn how to use Telnet.

    As I mentioned before, it also allows me to password-protect their important files. Not
    sure if this can be done by any other software manufacturer.

    This could absolutely be done by Synchronet. It has a user-user transfer as it is. Though I'm not sure I would freely allow anyone to exchange a unlimited amount of files through my system. I assume you have limits.

    Generally, there is only 1 file per week, so it is manageable. Glad to hear that it is an
    option.

    I advertise my Winserver BBS as one that can allow businesses to use it as an intranet. If
    they want to secure their files and message areas, I can set up a profile that will allow
    them to make them private. I've done this for several businesses over the years.
