Map a Network Drive

[joaotpd]

Hi!

I have alfresco-community-tomcat-2.9.0B installed on linux and running on http://myServerName/alfresco
I want to map a network drive on a different computer on a different network.
In Windows XP should be something like:
My Computer -> Tools -> Map Network Drive.

Drive: z: (for example)
Folder: http://myServerName/alfresco/mySpace (if i want the user start in "mySpace")

user: user.name
password: password

But this don't work!
Is this because of the bad configuration of the file file-servers.xml. I din't chage it… do i have to??
What am I doing wrong?! Any idea??
Thanks in advance!

try to map it to
http://myServerName/alfresco/

Actually, try to map it to

http://myServerName/alfresco/webdav/

[libman]

http://myServerName_A/alfresco/ or http://myServerNameA/alfresco/ for Windows, maybe this is also done in Linux.

You can also copy the mapping drive link in the webservice. The symbol right og the space name where you're working on.

http://myServerName_A/alfresco/ or http://myServerNameA/alfresco/ for Windows, maybe this is also done in Linux.

No.

…_A and …A are only relevant for CIFS links, not http ones.

Yes, you're correct, my mistake.

Hi again!
Thanks for all the answers!!
I figure it out!!
I have to run alfresco as root.
I was running alfresco with "sudo ./alfresco.sh start". If I run it as root ("sudo su -" and then "./alfresco start") it works!!…
I'm using "\\myServerName\alfresco\" without "http://".
Thanks again for the support!!

Is this the only way to allow the Alfresco CIFS to be mapped as a network drive? I find this hard to believe.

I am having a similar issue where I can not get CIFS to properly map; I am NOT using root to start/stop Alfresco.
