Thanks for the quick reply. I mention CIFS because the webserver outside of the firewall is not an Alfresco server and the software that's running on it is not Alfresco however it needs to be able to retrieve files from our Alfresco server which is inside of our firewall. This other software needs to be able to see a path to the Alfresco server and the only way I know to do this is via CIFS. The bottom line is that I need to be able to log into the webserver, click on Start/Run and type in a path to Alfresco…how would I do this without CIFS?

Thanks
