Wiki says it should work: http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Windows#Q6

What account do you use to run tomcat?
Does it has access to your share?
What is about tomcat logs and output? Do they have some errors?

Enable "audit failure" on remote machine and check security event logs (it
should log any unsuccessful authentication).

Use tools like "wireshark / winpcap " to sniff tomcat-to-remote-machine
conversation to see what has happened

A quick test worked for me.  I was able to list the contents of a SMB share
on my network.  Windows XP, Java 1.6.0_29.

public class Test {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    for (String fileName : new File("\\\\server\\share").list()) {
      System.out.println(fileName);
    }
  }
}

Maybe try running a quick test like this from your machine?


> but it throws a 404 error if I test it.

How are you testing it?  Are you directly accessing a file on that share or
are you trying to get a directory listing?  By default, Tomcat will not
display a directory listing (it'll display a 404 error).
