Simple Server File Sharing

In the past I worked for a company that had a file server that was running on IIS 6 to store all of their documentation to insure all company documents where being saved to the same location instead of perhaps to someones local machine.  They wanted me to setup individual folders for everyone in the company on the server so they could upload, share and track all documents.  In the example below, I've listed out the basic steps to setup file sharing on your server and map it to your local drive.  Happy Coding!!!

Server Configuration
1. Create folder somewhere on your local directory (C:/New Directory).
2. Right click on new folder and select Properties.
3. Select the Sharing tab.
4. Select the Share this folder radio button.
5. Next, select the Security tab.
6. Select Users role type.
7. Give Users Read and Write permissions or give them Full Control.
8. Select OK.
9. Create virtual directory in IIS 6 (Web Sites > www Web Site > New Directory).
10. Set local path.
11. Check (Read, Write, and Directory browsing) under Local path.
12. Select OK

Local Server Share Configuration
1. Open Start window.
2. Select Computer.
3. If you’re running on Windows Vista, select Map network drive above your local drives. Else locate your Map network drive button.
4. Select which drive you want to map to.
5. Insert \\Server Address\DavWWWRoot\share into the Folder text box.
6. Finally, you'll more then likely need to already connected to VPN or connected to your company network to map to your new shared folder.
