Accessing users windows shares on webbrowser?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi,

We are currently in the final stages of planning a move from Novell file

servers to Microsoft windows file servers. Our Novell server offers the

ability for users to login and see there network drive letters on a

webbrowser, where they can download and upload, and perform file operations

on there network files and folders. The product that allows this is called

Novell

NetStorage.(http://www.novell.com/products/openenterpriseserver/netstorage.html)

 

Is there a similar comparable product to allow you to login to the windows

domain, and see your network drives and windows shares on a web page? Our

users will miss this feature immensly, so i need to find a solution for them

on Windows server 2003...

 

Many Thanks

Alan

Sharepoint, which is free with server 2003, will allow access. Microsoft

Office Sharepoint has more features, but all costs. If you are looking to

read nad not write, it is possible through Exchange 2007 as well.

I looked at Sharepoint, but it doesn't appear to log the user in with access

to the network drives? I noticed you can create shared areas, but what i

wanted was access to the users network drives, along with all users

files/folders?
