Hello Everyone!

At home, all my files are installed on a Network Attached Storage device. I don't have a server. I have de CF administrator installed locally on 2 computer. I was wondering if it is possible to use my files on my NAS withouth having to move them to the wwwroot of my local coldfusion folder. I'd rather not have to transfer all my files back and forth whenever i need them...

Thanks for any help!

If you have IIS installed, i think there is a mapping feature to map directory on network or server as an application. I've setup that way also.

If you have iis, look into Application and Application Pool. IIS7 made supereasy to setup applications.

The other solution is through CF Admin, you can setup Mapping there also. I'm assuming that it would execute .cfm files outside of root, but you can give it a try.
