Re: nec. ports to access shared folder ?

That is contrary to the design and purpose of the firewall. Put them on the
same side of the firewall. Firewalls go on the "edge" of a network, not in
the middle of it.

There are several "other ways".
File Transfers with HTTP (IIS)
File Transfers with FTP (IIS)
File Transfers with a IPSec Tunnel
File Transfers with a VPN Tunnel

Any one of them is still 300% beter than destroying the security provided by
the firewall,...which is what running File and Print Sharing across the
firewall would do.

hi,
the problem is that the site is running five websites in a two machine nlb
cluster and the
web authors on the internal lan need to publish the files from frontpage to
the site.
since each site in an nlb cluster shares the same ip address they are unsure
of
how to edit each site since when the site is accessed via frontpage it could
be either
of the two machines. so not knowing what machine is being updated makes it
difficult to synchronize the two machines. i am not sure how other people
running
nlb clusters update their sites via frontpage and the fpse, and i am also
not sure if ftp or http transfers would solve the problem since each 'site' (
running on two seperate servers) shares the same ip address.

Yea, I see what you are saying. I don't know what to tell you. Our
comercial ASP based site is "hand coded" with simply Notepad and the files
are send over to it with FTP using WS_FTP.

hi,
are you running nlb ( multiple servers in a cluster ) on that site ? if so,
how do you get the ftp files into the wwwroot and other website
subdirectories ? isn't the ftproot usually a different folder ? do you just
create multiple ftp instances and point each one to one of the website
content folders ?

If it is only one site on a server, then I just alter the FTP Root Directory
to be the same one the Web Root is set to.

If it is multiple sites on a server then I would create a "new FTP site"
according to each web site and set the "root directory" accordingly.

NLB,...no,..I have never run any kind of NLB at all in any way,...I have
never even seen one. Very few of those types of setups would even exist in
my geograpical area, there is too many corn fields and bean fields.
