Re: controling the behaviour of a fileshare ?

Thanks, I'll investigate all of that.

My final goal is to deal with iso files. I need to enable access of this iso
files without unpaking them.
I cannot use virtual drives since I have hundred of iso files... I'd like to
have something like \\isosrv\iso1 ---> iso1.iso.

Thanks,
Steve

If you are asking how provide support on the server for a bunch of clients
to access like LanMan does, you have several choices:

1. If you can live with GPL take the Samba source and port it to
Windows and modify it to support the "pseudo files" you want.

2. Use the mini-RDR samples in the WDK (the Vista DDK) to write a new
redirector and then have a service on the server to serve up the "pseudo
files"

3. Use a mini-filter file system filter on the server to handle the
"pseudo files" and then share the volume or directory that is providing
those files.

All of these are a lot of work, there is no simple model for doing this.

Hi,

I'd like to know if it is possible to control the behaviour of a file
share on a w2K3 server.
In fact, I'd like to "emulate" files that are taken from a DB and allow
them to be accessible by computers on the network like a "real" folder.
I only need to read file, not write. Application must be able to "open"
handles to these files like any real file.

Thanks in advance for any tips.
Steve
