Share a shared folder : )


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi

 

People want me to publish a folder which one located on a computer.

Files & folders are shared and named as "docs".

 

I've got a public Windows 2003 Server Web Ed. with real IP

and private Windows 2003 SBS with shared folder "docs"

 

 

I've tried to add IIS a virtual folder "\\sbs\docs\" as

"http://mydomain/docs/".

However when I browse with IE, a login window prompts... I tried all

possible

user/pass combinations but no luck :/

 

"Everyone" may read&write&list the folder "\\sbs\docs\" (both Security and

Share).

 

 

 

How can I make the folder public/accessible from internet for dumb people,

I mean who cannot use ftp, rdc, etc. They just type \\mydomain.com\docs

or http://mydomain.com/docs

 

 

Thanks...

Plus, I cannot share a network folder (already a share).

I can see \\sbs\docs as W: drive on web server but I cannot share again this

network folder

so I cannot open as \\mydomain\docs

This isn't really an XP question, you would be better asking in the

appropriate newsgroup for server questions.

 

A webserver can have a number of different security configurations. Most are

set to publish a 'homepage' in each subfolder, typically index.htm,

default.htm etc. If no homepage exists they may return a directory-listing

instead. Or, they may be set to disallow this.

The dumb people delimiter is always a problem. You might want to setup a

n FTP server like Filezilla and let your users get their files using

their browser. Use the following line in the browser:

ftp://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn.
