I've got a server that has firewalled Internet access. I want a computer on a separate network, but sat right next to my server physically, to be able to connect to a network share on my server, but securely, from outside the firewall. The problem is that the other computer needs to connect without human intervention so it needs to be a mapped drive. Is this possible?

Do you have the option of using Certificate Services?
It would be the most logical choice.
Or do you have the option to use a DMZ, providing its a hardware firewall solution with the capability.

Thanks for your reply 
Hadn't heard of using certificate services for secure network shares, I'll look into it. I've recently purchased and installed an SSL certificate for https logon to a web app but I didn't know you could establish a network share with SSL (I presume that's what you mean?).
The firewall has a DMZ option port but it's already taken up by a hardware SSL-VPN device unfortunately.
