Guest Nime Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 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...
Guest Nime Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Re: Share a shared folder : ) 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
Guest Anteaus Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 RE: Share a shared folder : ) 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. > 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...

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.
