I have installed this add-in and it works great the first time I access. The next day or after rebooting I am denied access. Any idea on the problem?

Excellent. I would say one of the most useful adds to copy photos, music, etc from your Iphone to WHS

Is it possible to allow access to remote users that do not have an account on the WHS, I would like to share a folder with a client, but i do not want to create a user account for him on my server

Yes – the web folders require your WHS password. I use webfolders from work to access home files and it works like a charm.

Just wondering if the web folders that are set up are protected by a password, or can they be accessed by anyone that has the address of the folder. I didn’t see any mention of passwords in the setup .

I have encountered one major problem with this add-in. It is impossible to open Adobe or Word Perfect files remotely. There is a conflict with respect to the WebDav that the add-in uses.

Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

One of the best add-on’s for WHS. This is something that should be built directly into WHS. It is a must for most users.

JC,
I noticed a typo that might confuse someone in this bullet:
“Press Control-O to display the Open dialog; specify URL of Web Folders directory on the home server; remember to use *HTTPS instead of HTTPS*; check Open as Web Folder check box; click OK”

@Brent – Me? Make a mistake!

Fixed. Sorry about that. I read, re-read, and re-read again, and more often than not, something gets by me! My editor needs to step up and catch those! lol

It’s a nice add-in. And probably one that can be very usefull for some people.

Personally I use Hamachi, but that doesn’t mean this add-in sucks. I’ve used it a while ago and can be very handy at some point.
