Opening Folder on Server

Hey all. Got a weird problem here.

I need to open a folder that is on a server. The asp.net page and the
IIS are on the same server. But i Cant access it from nowhere but
locally. Simply because the link directs to eg. E:\Files\Stuff ... and
when any computer tries to access it, it searches on itself and not on
the server.

Tried to create the folder (virtual folder) inside the ASP folder on
IIS (enabled Allow File Browsing too) , but when I direct to it the
result is the same, 404 error. Locally it works, it doesn't show the
folder like Windows Explorer does, but it lists the contents and thats
enough for me.

How to make a folder inside a the server accessible from a normal link
for anyone that uses the page read and open files (PDFs, DOCs, ZIPs) ?

Thx.
 
Is your problem on your ISP's shared server? Some don't allow file system
access via ASP.NET because it would let you into the directories of other
customers.
 
Its not an ISP problem since it all happens on a corporative network.
The only thing I can think is that I am doing something wrong when
trying to link the page to the folder... or maybe its the normal
behavior of the server (win 2003 server)
