Hello,
where I can get detailed information about how WindowsNT serves its shares
to client computers?
Btw., is it possible to code a service that behaves similar to a shared
directory - seen from outside?
tnx & regards
Mark

There's a network protocol called CIFS (formerly SMB). That protocol
implements client/server interfacing when serving files across LAN (or even
Internet) by Windows.
Just search google for CIFS...

Actually, if you want your software to work across Internet (and be
firewall-friendly) you might want to look at WebDAV (I believe it's W3C
standard - [url]www.w3c.org[/url] ). In Windows (Win2000 and above) clients WebDAV
servers can be accessed via Web Folders (by end user). This allows you to
present directories on Web servers as network folders on LAN (to end user).
WebDAV is supported by most Web servers (IIS, Apache, etc.). You could check
help in Win2000 or XP: search for "web folder".
