5.6 Publishing Remote Folders

To publish remote folders, you need to create a Web Folder Access Profile - this type of connection provides a secure, web-based interface for accessing shared or private drives. It uses the WebDAV (Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning) protocol and allows users to manage files remotely through a web browser. This eliminates the need for any client-side installation, making it a lightweight and seamless solution for file management across various platforms.

To create a Web Folder Access Profile and provide access through the web to a folder from your system:

1

Start the Access Profile Wizard

Click on the New Profile button in the home page or alternatively, click the +Add button from the Access Profiles tab of the Settings menu.

2

Select an Access Profile Type

Select Web Folder and click Next.

3

Set Up the Web Folders

In the next step of the wizard enter the path to the folder you want to share on the web and click Next.

4

Set Up Permissions for the Web Folder Access Profile

Disable the Allow Anonymous Access option and use the Add button to select the users and groups that will have access to the new Access Profile.

Note

Find users and groups link will only be available when working with Directory Services.

Reference

For details on how to configure access permissions, see Global Access Profiles Parameters, Access Control Settings and Labels.

5

Set the Access Profile Name

Enter a descriptive name for the new Access Profile, then select an icon for the new profile and click Done to publish your Web Folder Access Profile.

6

Configure the Access Profile

The wizard guides you through the essential settings required for the connection to the target resource. Thinfinity Workspace assigns default values for the rest of the parameters of the connection. To customize these parameters, access the Settings menu of the access profile.

Reference

For details, see Web Folder Core Settings.

7

Commit the Changes

To implement the defined connection parameters, click Commit.

  • If you are defining only one profile, you can use Commit right after configuring all the desired parameters.

  • If you are defining several profiles or complex profile configurations, use Commit after you have everything in place.
