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.
