Document Library access

tyuhas — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:11:51 GMT

We're using the 3.0 bundle on a Solaris server and were wondering if it was possible to access a Document Library via a method other than webDAV like CIFS or FTP. Enabling the filesystem access as per the wiki seems to allow connections to the Alfresco server but not actually to Share.

Share doesn't implement CIFS, FTP or WebDAV - it's a lightweight web application that communicates with the Repository via REST APIs. As Share can be deployed on a separate server, no content is held there, so there's little point providing a CIFS or FTP interface when it would just be proxied straight to the repo anyway.

Thanks,
Mike

This was very useful!! Now I know I was conceptually off and had been looking for the wrong solution.

Thanks!
