You can either create a virtual directory over to the content on that server, via a UNC path in the virtual dir properties. Many people
do this, as you are still controlling permissions via IIS and NTFS.
or,
You can replicate the content from the file server to the IIS server. This should work nicely, and would be a noticable perf increase if
this is a hard hit site; no traffic from the IIS box to the file server box.
Thank you. I hope this information is helpful.

| I have files that are on a file server on my local network that I need to
| make accessible through a web application. I definitely do not want to
| expose my file server to the internet. I have thought about possibly
| setting up another file server and establish a one way trust from my
| internal domain to the web domain, and then use FRS to push files over that
| need to be accessible through the web. I am running IIS 5 and all servers
| are Win2k.
|
| Can anyone recommend a better way to do this?
