Creating WebFolder (WEBDAV) on a Windows 2000 IIS 5.0 server
Hi, I am in the midst of setting up a secure WebDav folder for users to access files remotley instead of using FTP. I have found some documentation on doing so however I am having an issue with enabling Web Sharing of the folder becasue the actual directory of the Website is housed on another server. For instance the documentation I have says you need to enable sharing via the Web Sharing tab; however, when you click on the folder properties -> Web Sharing it gives you the option to share the folder on a local IIS site, but snce my website is on a different server I am unable to add it to the folder. Is there anyway around this? Thank you!
