How to map a network drive to Alfresco

[tmichals]

Hello
I am new to alfresco. I am trying to map a network drive to Alfresco. 1st off, in order to use CIFS, does NetBIOS have to be installed as a protocal under my network card? ( right now it is not). I am installing on Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 and using the Comunity edition (Alfresco-Community-3.3g-Full-Setup.exe)
in addtion, I am trying to map a network drive using ftp. Under C:\Alfresco\tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco I am modifing the file-servers.properties cifs.enabled=false, it still shows up in the alfresco log as being enabled.
…
11:02:08,191 INFO  [org.alfresco.fileserver] CIFS server started
11:02:08,207 INFO  [org.alfresco.fileserver] FTP server started
11:02:08,207 INFO  [org.alfresco.fileserver] NFS server NOT started
11:02:08,285 INFO  [org.alfresco.ftp.server] Starting server FTP …
…

If I paste ftp://admin:admin@ACS-6E25FE26398:1121/Alfresco/Users%20Home/tmichals_space
I get a pop up window "Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name correctly and that you have permission to access the folder. Details: A connection with the server could not be established."

if i paste ftp://admin:admin@ACS-6E25FE26398/Alfresco I get in. put not on port 1121 and I can only browse the directory tree structure.

I hope this is at least a starting point for the information I can provide to you all to help be able to map a net work drive.
Thank You

Alfresco configuration 101 : Don't change anything under WEB-INF, your configuration changes go into alfresco-global.properties.

And you say you are using CIFS and then use ftp!

By default ftp is a tcp based protocol will be on port 21. You can change it to 1121 by setting the ftp.port property and ftp.enabled=true in your alfresco.global.properties.

I Was trying to use CIFS but not making any progress, so I switched to trying to use ftp. Now I will try modiying the right file.
Thank You for your prompt respose.

It works!

I go to “map network folders”, paste the following in and check “reconnect at logon” and I am able to copy and paste a document into the dir and see it in Alfresco Explorer
