Re: Accessing windows share throught http
Sure it's feasible, I've done it. Actually these are all good reasons *to* do it this way. U retain more control over who can see what. Call me paranoid. Not knocking smbwebclient, this is just more locked-down.

Re: Accessing windows share throught http
This is not feasible for three good reasons: 1. i would need to authenticate the access page so giving an username/password to anuy possible user, each one with its permissions. 2. I do not know in advance not only the users, but neither what are the possible shares to be used. 3. Even if I knew all the data i would need to know the user password for access to any share ...

Re: Accessing windows share throught http
You can also do it by mounting the share with samba as part of the regular file system. Then it's just another directory under the document root (or alias). If u ask me this is safer than using smbwebclient because I wouldn't trust giving random people free reign into the NT environment. As an added benefit shell users and server daemons can also access the NT share. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Accessing windows share throught http
I try again on this list: I have seen somewhere a program that acts as a web server that allows to browse throught the window (and samba) servers in a subnet, from a single point. This wopuld allow people to browse in public shares in the hosts in the subnet (and retrieve files, giving username/password) via an access via port 80|443 on the web server, without need to open netbios ports outside localnet.. I do not remember the name of the package ... however !!! -- Leonardo Boselli Nucleo informatico e Telematico Dipartimento Ingegneria Civile Universita` di Firenze Via Santa Marta 3 I-50139 Firenze +39 055-4796-431 +39 348-8605-348 fax 055-495-333 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
