Serving files via Web Server?

» close window

The Question is:

 
1. I have created a share in Pathworks.
2. Reports are being copied to this share from my NT workstation
3 How do I set up my FTP that I can connect to this share via my Internet
Explorer and utilize this as part of my Intranet
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  Assuming that the Advanced Server (PATHWORKS) and FTP portions of the
  questions are effectively irrevelent to the end goal -- that the root
  question here is how to serve files that are based on OpenVMS disks
  via an OpenVMS web server -- then the answer tends to be specific to
  the particular web server running on OpenVMS.  (If this question is
  specific to operations on a Microsoft platform, you have contacted
  the wrong Wizard.)
 
  The core of the necessary operations involves configuring the web
  server to access the directories -- once the web server can access
  the directory, establishing access to the files is generally simple.
  How the web server is configured -- security, generally -- to allow
  access to a particular directory is specific to the particular
  web server package.
 
  Access to these files can be established by static HTML text, or via
  CGI scripts implemented in various languages including DCL.
 
  Examples of using HTML on OpenVMS, including CGI, is available in the
  second edition of Writing Real Programs in DCL, available from the
  Digital Press imprint of Butterworth Heinneman (http://www.bh.com).
