Make student folders available externaly

[daverage]

Hi there, is there a way that I can make student folders available externally, Somone once mentioned sharepoint to me?

[Geoff]

IIS + WebDav?

[daverage]

Can i do that for folders that are not on a webserver?

[Geoff]

Yes

[daverage]

ok i will look into that
only problem i have is that my authentication agains AD is done in asp, so I may not be able to acces teh folders lol

we use http commander from here
Http: Commander
works well enough, is stable (has been running without problem for a few years) and is reasonably cheap in the grand scheme of things

ASP has nothing to do with it. Authentication is handled by WebDav.

We have IIS 5.0 and use wexlite here.

so if i try to go to the webdav folder it will ask me for a login then?

Well in IIS you can set Directory Security on the folders. We have basic authentication here but our site is over SSL.

so if i try to go to the webdav folder it will ask me for a login then?

Assuming your using a WebDAV client (like webfolders in XP).
