Hyperlink to a files on a server - so everyone can view - 5/4/2001 20:57:00

Hi friend,

I am currently working on a webpage which involves having hyperlinks . The only problem is that my pages are kept on the webserver and my files are kept on another server.

When i use the server name and share name to connect rather than using the File:\\, this works fine, but only restricts my pages to people who have permission to access the server where the file is kept.

Since i need anyone to view the page, how can i overcome this ? - i've have heard of a virtual directory but have no idea what this is or how to implement it.

Its really bugging me ..BIG thanks for your help.

to make a virtual directory open iis right click on your site and choose >>new>>virtual directory then browse or type the path to the directory on the file server.

what you have to realize is even making a virtual directory will not over ride any ntfs security you may have in place on that directory.
