[Mediawiki-l] windows shares

Sun Apr 17 21:20:23 UTC 2005

We do this for our Intranet (MediaWiki 1.4 running on IIS) by mapping a
virtual directory to a share.  We then can use

[http://ourserver/directory/filename.ext description] to access files that
are on the share.

It's a little clumsy but it works.  The added benefit is we can use NTFS
security to restrict access to files (note we also use NTFS authentication
via IIS for wiki authentication).

Hello all
I am about to put up a wiki for internal company use, I will be using 
mediawiki, but i have just seen that docuwiki has support for windows
shares, 
which may be quite useful. Is there a way to implement/use this in
mediawiki?
Thanks,
H
