What about some sort of php groupware pretty sure you could find a file browser plugin for one them http://www.phpgroupware.org/ Web content and document management and sharing Maybe some thing like that would be a solution Terry -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
Re: [Samba] How to access shares via HTTP (apache2)
Hello, as from windows vista on web dav support from microsoft ist no more than before. But if you do not miss the drag and drop thing and so on with your users. Try this (Linux): http://sourceforge.net/projects/davenport or: http://www.simple-groupware.de/cms/WebDAV or their special package (supports dfs!!!): http://www.simple-groupware.de/cms/WebDisk/IntegraTUMWebDisk But in all cases your firewall need to be configured Greetings Daniel -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Robert LeBlanc An: Daniel Müller Cc: samba@lists.samba.org Gesendet: Freitag, 1.

Daniel In our case, we already have a VPN solution (Cisco, definatly not our choice) in place. We wanted a solution that is cross-platform and didn't require anything to be intalled on the OS and would never be blocked by any firewall. WebDav fit the bill alhough it sucks prety bad on Windows, it is still there.

See thread just a few days back... smbwebclient is a simple PHP script that will run under apache to give web based access to file shares (via smbclient, permissions work flawlessly), Davenport is a Java based WebDAV server if you want the full WebDav thing (I could never get that to work but apparently others have)! -- Steve Rippl Technology Director Woodland Public Schools 360 225 9451 x326 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
