[mapserver-users] allowing MapServer access to data on another windows machine?

[Mark Volz]

Hello

I am planning to reinstall windows on our main web server.  While it is down I am going to use an old machine.  It does not have enough hard disk space for all of our data.  I mapped the Z drive to a second old machine which will temporary hold the excess mapserver gis data.   I received an error " Unable to access file. (Z:/ms4wCache/source/Picto2011Lyon/Picto2011.shp)\nmsShapefileOpen(): Unable to access file." 

Question:  what do I need to do to allow mapserver to access data that is stored on another machine?

thanks
