File sharing access between 2 domains without a trust

Here is the layout.

Temple - Server 2003 Standard - Linksys RV082
Houston - Server 2003 Small Business - Linksys RV082

I built a VPN between the 2 routers hoping that I could then build a
trust to allow users from each domain to access data from the other.
Once I got the VPN setup, I realized that the SBS Domain will not allow
Trust's to be setup.

My question is - How can I have users from one domain access data that
is in the other domain?

Hi jay_mcdaniel,

how about installing an FTP site for your users to access

I thought about that also, but the customer doesnt feel its a good solution.

What happened is 2 companies merged, and neither wants to "Give Up" their server and network configuration.

IMO - One site should reimage and become a BDC of the other domain.

I would agree with keith here. There should be no reason shares cannot be accessed in the circumstances decribed. As he has pointed out credientials would be required and promted for when a share was accessed.
