My goal is to access public server using UNC path \\server_ip\folder
syntax. My ISP is blocking port 445, so i cannot access server using SMB
protocol. The questions are:
- There are still no easy method to force windows use
SMB
protocol via other port than 445 (for example 80)? - That leaves me
WebDAV
protocol. How to force windows explorer to use this protocol? I setupWebDAV
server. I can access files via browser, but not with UNC path in windows explorer. I cannot accessWebDAV
server from local machine and from remote machine using explorer. I tried\\ip:80\folder
and\\ip@80\folder
- they refused to connect. I also editedNetwork Connections - Advanced Settings - Provider Order
and madeWeb Client Network
first and tried to access using simple form\\ip\folder
, but wireshark showed that it was accessed using port 445. So still notWebDAV
.
EDIT:
Of cource I can use UNC, there is no doubt. For example, see: How can I access a webDAV folder as a UNC share?
Ok if you don't like I'm doing over public, then how can I access it in my LAB. WebDAV folder is on my local PC and I'm accessing it via UNC on my local PC. I see windows cannot access. HTTP/1.1 405 Method not alowed.
IIS is version 10.0.17134.1
EDIT: so nobody who managed to do it would tell?
