Anyone know about this?

Background:
Customer of mine who has a simple 1 page website wants a way to be able to share Excel files securely on the web. They do not have a network server at their office, it's all clients (I think 5 or 6).

They are not opposed to buying some hardware to facilitate this. Don't know much about a VPN, but would that be the ticket?


Questions:
Is there a way to do this on their hosting plan they have now? They are on a Microsoft box.

They want the copy of the file on the web server to be editable by all the team members (not downloaded, edited then uploaded - they aren't that savvy). Sounds as if they'd like to use excel from within their browser (?)

They want security that they alone control - ie. no outsiders access the files even for setup purposes.


Anyone have a recommendation?

That should work great - I had forgotten about that. That's what I told them to use.
