Is there a way to share files across a network without a network
share. We're building an application that will have to have
read/write access to a folder on another server but we'd like to avoid
using shares.

What are the implication if there is/isn't a domain setup.

Thanks,
S
 
Use a UNC

\\machinename\sharename

If what you're trying to avoid is mapping a drive letter.

In addition to the other post - you have to share *something* - share the
parent folder you need to access & set the appropriate NTFS permissions on
it.
 
Or you could use the hidden administrative share:

\\server\c$\folder
