In summary, I have the following problem: When opening files in particular folders contained in a Virtual Directory on Windows IIS 5 server that points to a SAMBA share, via a web browser (I have tried IE and cURL), I get a 404 - file not found error, however, I am able to open these same files on the SAMBA server with Windows Explorer, using the same SAMBA account that the IIS server is using. Please note that I AM able to open up other files of the same type via the web browser from the SAMBA share when pointing to the Virtual Directory on the SAMBA share. When I point the Virtual Directory toward a Windows server share that is a mirror of the SAMBA share, I can open up every file just fine. I have checked the file permissions on the SAMBA server, I can open up some of the files that are located even in the same subfolder via web browser, and I can browse all folders regardless of wheter or not I can open files in them or not. I am using SAMBA version 2.2.3a on HP-UX 11i. I appreciate any input!!! Thank you. AD
