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
