Using browser to access server filestore - how to setup?

[Guest Mike]

I have seen in some organizations the ability to browse a windows server

filestore from ones browser.

 

The benefit is that it becomes easy for people to browse to a file location,

and copy the link e.g.

 

intranet.mycompany.com/customers/proposal.doc

 

and include the link in an email / document, rather than the actual document

(Also, individual drives are mapped to drive letters in explorer, so it

isn't easy or practical for them to send paths from explorer).

 

 

I have asked my IT group about doing this and they looked fairly blank at

how to do this.

 

Can anyone describe in general terms what I need to do to get a Wiki server

(or other Web server) setup with drives mounted in this manner?

Maybe MS SharePoint?
