I will be updating a local webserver with a Web.

So, I am trying to pubish it to \\server\share\

where the "server" the webserver, connected to our network, and the "share"
is the wwwroot folder, shared, so the webmaster can write to it, but it is
'read only' to everyone else.

1. Is this safe? (security wise?) keeping a web server connected to the rest
of the network?
2. It also isn't working. How does everyone else do this? It give me a
message:

"The folder \\server\share is contained by a server-based Web. To access
this Web use the http:// url for the web server."

(Is this necessary?) Also, I have delete all other files in the wwwroot
folder, already. There really isnt' anything there.
 
You should never treat a web server site like a file location. Use HTTP to
publish to and manage server-based webs.
