RE: 2 servers, 1 website, security issue

Update!

Hello again Walter,

Well, I managed to get access to the server and have set the Connect As
property on the virtual folder in IIS. That has got rid of the "Connect to.."
dialog whenever I try and access any of the files.

However, all the files in the VDir have spaces in the names. The browser is
showing that it's looking for "/myshare/saved/this%2fis%2fmy%2ffile.ext" -
and it's giving me a 500 error?

How can I access these files with the spaces in the names ?!

Thanks,


Dan

Hi Walter,

Thanks - I've found it on my test system here. Unfortunately on the real
system, we turned the SQL Server off, so right clicking on the Virtual
Directory it can't find the server so won't show me the properties.

At least I know what to do now - thanks for the help so far, I'll keep you
posted!

Cheers



Dan

Hi Dan,

In IIS management console, select your virtual directory "/IntranetShare",
right-click, select "properties", in tab "Virtual Directory", you will the
option "A share located on another computer" is selected and there's a
button named "Connect As" at the right side of the field "Network
Directory". This is where you tell IIS how to read the network resource.
You need to use a account that have access to the network share path.

Regarding writing to the network resource, we can leave it alone if that
part is not included in your web application.

Please try configure the "Connect As" and let me know the result. Thanks.
