No, not the server but the so called shared folder.

But, when I was installed Tomcat server, then from the LAN everyone can access the Tomcat sever's homepage, using a web browser (Firefox or Internet Explorer. The problem is accessing only the shared folder and not the Tomcat server for everyone from the LAN's PC boxes. >> So, I think, if I could make some web application on Tomcat server, >> that allow for all of my pupils to access my 'shared' folders that >> would be great! > > If you need to do this via HTTP, then this is called "WebDAV" and there > are several products that exist that don't require you to write any > code.

OK, then I will try to install on the teachers PC box Windows system an apache server, and try to setup WebDAV so my pupils can access a folder on the teacher's PC box using http. :) > If you really want to write something like this, we can help you.

Thanks, but I will try first the Apache WebDAV solution. :) -- Regards, Paul Chany http://csanyi-pal.info --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
