CF 8 Windows 2003 Mapping to Mac

[EBG1103]

I have a windows 2003 erver running CF 8.  I need to be able to drop files on a remote mac server outside of our network.  Is there an easy way to do this?  The mac people have created a shared resource on the mac and opened it to the webserver's ip however this does not work.  The CF services are running under the same credentials given to the access account on the mac.

Perhaps use a USB memory stick to copy the files over if you don’t need to repeat the process.

HTH, Carl.

Nope, this will be a CF application that needs to write the files to the remote mac.

This isn't really a CF question, it's a Windows-Mac interoperability question. There are two ways you can approach this. You could use Samba on the Mac, which would allow the Windows machine to write to a published share on the Mac. Alternatively, you could set up the Windows machine to support the native OS X file sharing protocol, whatever that is. I'd go with the former, I think.
