Dear Mauricio,

I suppose you would map the shared folder of MYSECONDCOMPUTER on the mapserver machine.
1. On MYSECONDCOMPUTER make the folder of your shape files shared, e.g.
   Right click in explorer on the name of the folder and select Sharing.
   For more information on sharing folders see:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/maintain/share.mspx

2. On mapserver machine in explorer select map network drive in the Tools
   menu and select the sharing on the other machine and assing a letter to
   to it, probably you should check reconnect.

3. Change the data line in your map file.

I suppose using shared files from another machine is a performance issue.

Regeards,
Zoltan

Hi,

This should be possible, but note that the shapefile must be readable by
the Apache user. I'm not sure how to check that on Windows, but others may
probably help.

Hi mapserver users

I hope you can help with my questions. please

I have a LAN with two computers.  One computer is installed MapServer and
 my second computer are my shapefiles

How can I get  my  shapefiles from my second computer?
I have tried to do this (example) , but I couldn“t  get my shapefile...
*Is it possible to do this?.. *Note: I dont wanna use database, only  files

Example:

 LAYER
   NAME mybridge
   DATA "*//MYSECONDCOMPUTER/maps/bridge*"
   STATUS ON
   TYPE LINE
   CLASS
          NAME bridges
          STYLE
             COLOR 0 167 197
             OUTLINECOLOR 218 218 218
          END
   END
END



Thanks

Mauricio
