Thanks, I appreciate your help.
That's fine, but please keep the messages on the list for everyone's benefit.
You suggest that if I follow your instructions, I could then use, for example, http://example.com/topshare. Unfortunately, the "example.com" I want to get files from is not running an http service, and would refuse this request.
Then I am confused, what is Apache for?example.com does not refer to the location your will try and gain access to with Apache. I merely said that if example.com was the website you had configured in Apache, then using my suggested configuration, example.com/topshare would be the same as \\yourserver\topshare
Where [1] example.com = your website address (i.e. www.apache.org) [2] topshare = the name of the windows share (the name of the share) [3] yourserver = the name of the server where share is located.I will repeat my suggested config below with some annotations, maybe this will help clear it up for you.
<-- Config Example Starts Here --> Alias /topshare //server1/topshare # This line will instruct Apache to use "//server1/topshare" when users attempt to go to /topshare on your website. <Directory "//server1/topshare"> Order deny,allow Allow from all Options indexes </Directory># These 5 lines basically set the few basic required permissions, and options # you would need to allow Apache to show a directory listing of "//server1/topshare"
<-- Config Example Ends Here -->If you place these in your appropriate server or vhost configuration it should work fine (as long as you change the paths to match your environment
