Re: security between serving files from a fileshare

Hi Ian,

On virtual directory on server two (P2) you can specify which username and
password to use by clicking on "Connect As". When entering username you can
manually put in computer name (e.g. P1\username) and password for username
created on P1. Instead of P1 you could also use "string" localhost\username
where username is again account created on P1.

I hope this helps,

Hi,

I have two machines that are on the internet that can share files between
them. They are otherwise firewalled.They are not on the same domain, but
they
can see each other and share files in windows.

They are p1 and p2. p1 shares the directory pics with p2. p2 logs in as
p1\pics to see the pics. This works fine for windows, but is having
problems
with iis.

I have set up the directory as a virtual directory in iis, and have set to
look at the fileshare and entered the username and password, but am
getting a
500 error - invalid username / password. When I browse for the password,
it
only allows me accounts on p2.

Without creating a domain, how can I get iis on p2 to serve pics from p1.

ie http://p2.mysite.com/pics/aa1.jpg which will serve the file
\\p1\pics\aa1.jpg

Thanks,


Ian
