You could use WebDav (network folders) to provide secure modify access to the share using IIS.]]> Wed, 17 Oct 2007 17:15:57 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/creating-links-to-file-shares-in-windows_topic24657_post128594.html#128594 <![CDATA[Creating links to file shares in Windows : I thought about a virtual directory...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/creating-links-to-file-shares-in-windows_topic24657_post128593.html#128593 Author: Flapjack

I thought about a virtual directory in IIS, but I don't currently have permissions.  I'll talk to our IT director about it...

this is not directly possible - you would have to place the files in the web site and use
 
http://mainweburl/share/documents/file.doc

As far as I can tell, this is not possible.  If there is a way to do this, can someone please share?

Basically, I want to create a clickable link to a folder on a network share, ie:

\\server\share\documents\

...or to a specific document, ie:

\\server\share\documents\file.doc
