File Sharing Problem

Post by ekbranson »

I am looking for some sugestions to a file sharing problem. I have a windows machine on a domain, that can not be set up as an FTP or HTTP server. Unfortuneatly this computer has drawings that need to be viewed from a Web App. I need to some how link to these files remotely from a Linux web server, running the WEB App. I currently have the path and file names in a MySQL database, that is populated from a vbscript.

Any Ideas?

Ok, I was unaware that the administrator could mount a drive as easily as he did. Problem solved.

Thanks for your help
