Can a "shared File" Folder be a WebDAV Folder ? IIS6, Win2..

hi all,
i tried to set up a webDAV Folder, for a "shared folder" , which is already
shared in the intranet like \\server\share
i created an empty website with a root, and tried to link the "shared"
folder to a Virtual Directory http://server.company.com/share with the
proper permissions.
(in respect with "creating publishing directories" and "using WebDAV" in
Technet.

website , dns, hostheader, ip, port etc, directory browsing is on, works
fine.
I can access http://server/share after giving ma user/pass as well as
http://server.company.com/share.
I can create folders and save files into that folders.(office, drag+ drop)

I cannot access a Virtual Directory under hat Web root, wich points to the
\\server\share folder.

The error: website is unavailable: http://server/share

How do I "import" existing Data into a WebDAV Folder ??
Do Permissions conflict? when i want to access either \\server\share or
http://server.company.com/share ?

can someone give me a hint ?
thanks a lot
cheers

all i wanted is to provide "upload possibility" for users.

Try this:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/pro...chnol/w

In the same Properties page that you created the Shared Folder, there should
be a tab for "Web Folder" as well.

The same physical folder can be a "Shared Folder" and a "Web Folder". They
are just different ways to name the same thing -- i.e. http://server/share
== \\server\share == C:\SharedFolder
