I set up a SAMBA shared folder called "sandbox" on my FreeBSD test web server to which I want the web developers to be able to upload files for testing with the intranet webserver. The sandbox folder is a subfolder of the apache main folder so it can be accessed via <BLOCKED::http://machinename/sandbox>; http://machinename/sandbox. Currently, space constraints on the testing box prevent me from copying our entire website's contents to a subfolder within this folder, but one of the web developer's has a copy of the website in a "Website" folder on his Windows XP workstation's shared folders. Is it possible to create a new folder that utilises samba to connect to this Windows user's shared "website" folder so that I can access the folder via something like "sandbox/website"? If so, how do I go about doing this? Is there a better approach to what I'm trying to do? -Nissan
