Hi,

 HFS is working great in Firefox, Chrome IE, just trying to simplify how I access the shared files.

I want to map a drive X: that will open the shared HFS folder. It should be possible , I have done it with FTP and there is an option for HTTP.

I tried it in XP and Win 7 but always get an error:
From Explorer just wento to Tools-Map Network drive:
X:
http://192.168.1.99:8080/share

tried "connect using different username" or "different credentials" in W7

in WIn 7 there is an option "Connect to a Website that you can use to store documents and pictures" but get the same error
Win 7 error:
"The folder you seem to be does not appear to be valid please choose another"

Win XP error:
"Drive could not be mapped because no network was found."

Thanks for any suggestions

Your talking about mapping a web folder...

I recall a needed windows update for it on windows 7 machines...(webdav...):

With the move to hfs 3.0 and github. I'm using Unraid and HFS 3 as a docker. Any File Mentioned is now removed from my google drive.

you will have to set windows side permissions and hfs user account permission("same user" for both...) to the folder you are sharing. I have completed this once with a windows 7 machine, but had issues "uploading"...

hfs isn't relay meant to host files that way... in a windows mapped network...

if webdav is required, it is not currently supported
