Windows File Share
Windows File Share enables you to map a drive on your local computer to your Developer Server. If you map a drive to your Developer Server, you can copy and paste files to and from your Developer Server in a drag-and-drop fashion. To use Windows File Share, ensure that the client for Microsoft Networks and the TCP/IP protocol stack are installed.
Note: Windows File Share is dependent upon your ISP and your web hosting provider.
<> Setting up Windows File Share
- Set the Primary Network Login to Client for Microsoft Networks.
- From the TCP/IP Properties panel, under DNS Configuration, enter your Developer Server's domain name in the Domain Suffix Search Order. (This assumes that DNS is enabled.)
- From Enter Network Password login prompt, enter your Developer Server's username and password.
- From your Windows taskbar, click Start.
- Click Find/Computer.
- n the Find Computer dialog, in the Named field, enter "www".
- Click Find Now.
- Double-click the computer icon named "www." This action displays a single folder. This folder is your home directory on your Developer Server.
- Right-click on the folder and choose Map Network Drive.
Note: With later releases of Windows, Windows98, and WindowsNT, you may have to do additional steps if you have problems connecting.
