NTFS offers 'Mount points'. Look into it

Dominik, I deeply studied your suggestion.

I found that the 'Mount point' only are valid for "local" resources.
I tried two tools:
<b>linkd.exe:</b> (Junction Points) A junction point is similar to a symbolic link, but instead of redirecting access from one file to another, it redirects access from one directory to another.
<b>mountvol.exe:</b> (Volume Mount Points) A volume mount point is like a symbolic link or junction point but for all the volume.

Do you know a way to get the same effect with remote directory (other w2k professional shared directory without a NT domain)?

Thanks again.

C.

No sorry windoofs uses only smb for sharing AFAIK...
but what about a net device and moving the stoorage to that!

Dominik,

Unfortunaly we could not set up Apache (httpd.conf) nor ezPublish (site.ini.append) to access the storage folder through the net to a shared folder of other PC usign map drives nor windows direct access.

That was the first configuration we tried to, but after a day of study we gave up. :-(

Thanks and congratulations for using Linux! ;-)
