question on how to access a mdb access file uploaded to online server from C sharp

[gladiator1919]

hello every one
i'm working on a database program for a company, i want to upload the database to the company website server to give every one in the company a complete access to this database rather than putting it on a PC which is on the company LAN and sharing it because this have many problems cause the network may have any problems in the future, the hard disk of the PC which the database is on may have any problems like bad sectors , etc.
i googled and i found that some people said that putting it on the ASP folder may be unsecure because it's easy for any one to download it if he knows the database name, even he wrote "mdb" in the search he may find it. Some people said it's better to upload it to the ftp server, but i tried to write "ftp://www.company-name.org/" in the address bar and i found that all the files on the web site can be downloaded very easily.
i don't have any idea about this topic and i have many questions and thanks in advance for any replies
these questions are
1- How to upload it to the server?
2- is it safe or not?
3- which will be more secure, to upload it on the ftp server or to upload it on the asp folder?
4- what will be the connection string if i wanted to use it in the c sharp application?

and if u know any other way to make the database available to everyone, what will it be?

thank again

All very good questions... but not really your responsibility.
Should you understand all this: Yes.
Should you be making the decision: No.

I'm sure the company's I.T. department if filled with people with years of experience with this sort of thing. Let *them* tell *you* what their company I.T. policy is. People much higher in paygrade get paid to make the decisions and assume the legal responsibility for being wrong.
