Hi Jackie, 1. You asked if the remote computer is on the same network as the mapguide server; Do You mean a "LAN", by "network" or you mean the servers that we add in mapguide site administrator? You know, in my case the remote computers don't have mapguide installed. 2. Actually I can't add new servers in mapguide site adminstrator, and I guess that I make a mistake in defining IP addresses. Would you Please explain me how I can give IP addresses to different computers as different servers? 3.Would you please explain me more about how to create an unmanaged alias in the MapGuide Site Administrator to the network share? Thanks in advance connecting to remote files using mapguide, please help

If so you can create an unmanaged alias in the MapGuide Site Administrator to that network share, and be able to refer to that alias in your resource documents. For example if your shp files are located at \\server\shp you can create an alias "SERVER_SHP" that you can then refer to in your resource xml documents as %MG_DATA_PATH_ALIAS[SERVER_SHP]% So if you have a shp file called foo.shp in that network share you can create a feature source document that refers to it by creating a document that look like something below: xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="FeatureSource-1.0.0.xsd"> OSGeo.SHP DefaultFileLocation %MG_DATA_PATH_ALIAS[SERVER_SHP]%foo.shp TemporaryFileLocation Hope that helps. - Jackie Mansoureh Sadrykia wrote: > > Hi List! > > I intend to use mapagent to connect to shp files in a remote computer > and decided to introduce the files' address, in the xml that I use in > mapagent as the "content".
