Folder access to external users with Citrix
We have Citrix Presentation server farm. It is working internally for all users. We need to publish a file share (Folder shared on a file server) to allow access to external users connected via internet.
The present set up I have is
Published share as an application with command line c:\windows\explorer.exe "\\servername\sharename" and working directory as %homedrive%%homepath%
It is opening up the share as far as user logged in from within the network but not externally.
However, another conern, even if user is logged in from the withing the network, he can accessed the share and at the same time he can navigate the network which we don't want. Example, after share is opened in a new window, click on "up" icon and it goes to higher level. User may not be open any doucment but it still give visibility to other resources on the network.
From outside of the network, it error out with "path not found" error because itis looking for the resource on the local disk.
Our objectives are:
Provide access to a share for users from outside of the company netwrok, accessing citrix server via URL (Cannot give external IP to file server, and not prefer to use log on scripts)
Make sure user cannot browse through the network.
Any help is highly appreciated

The only way I could see this happening is by using GPOs, login scripts, and NTFS/Share permissions. GPO to hide all local drives (except the mapping) and prevent users from browsing the network, and a logon script to map a drive.

I do not know if this is possible in Windows because you are limited by Windows itself. Any share you open in windows will give you this option.
