Hi,
I need to run a secure ftp server connected to a dsl line to allow my customers to upload data. The problem is, i cant figure out a way of creating a fully redudant server incase of failure or dsl disconnection. So i then had the idea of running 2 servers in 2 different locations each with a dsl line and using a paid for round robin dynamic dns service as offered by no-ip.com. By doing this my customers will be able to access one or the other server.
This seemed like a good idea until i realised that i could end up with different data on both servers.
To summorize, i need a secure redundant ftp that will failover to a different server if needed and can synchronise with the other server to keep one consistant set of files.
Can anyone suggest a way of doing this?
Also i need this to be secure so to synchronise the data i would need to use vpn. I have a range of OS's at my disposal such as xp pro or 2003 server etc
