Sharing DFS via WEBDAV

Question

I know this is easily achievable via FTP, but the users where I work aren't very tech-savvy. Users need to be able to access their files from the DFS server (\office\dfs) via a webdav site. I tried simply mapping the DFS to a directory in webdav, but no such luck. I'm getting "500.19 internal server error". I have successfully mapped a local drive to webdav (C:\whydoesthiswork) so it has to do with mapping the network drive(\office\dfs).

Maybe there is an easier way of doing this? I'm new to IIS and webdav, so it's very likely I have overlooked something simple. Any sort of help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

I would suggest taking a look at IT Hit WebDAV Server library: http://www.webdavsystem.com/server/.

I think the NtfsStorage sample provided with SDK can map a network share as a WebDAV server. Even if not you can definitely adapt it for this propose.
