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 Ilya Kazakevich, Developer JetBrains Inc http://www.jetbrains.com "Develop with pleasure!" -----Original Message----- From: Alexander Diedler [mailto:adied...@tecracer.de] Sent: Tuesday, November 15, 2011 6:27 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: AW: Include NEtwork path into Tomcat - urgent Yes, http://www.test.de/pictures/test.png throws 404 error.

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).
