Being able to edit source files from internal network computers

[motin]

I have an apache webserver setup on Windows XP on one of the computers in my home internal network. I want to be able to edit my files under documentroot from the other computers but I keep getting "Access denied" when I try. Normally, one can edit the permissions for directory access in XP by altering permissions for the NETWORK user, but this user cannot be selected or created for the the directory that is my documentroot ("c:\inetpub\wwwroot\")

What should I do??? I have been searching forums for answer in hours and hours!

The only solution I can think of is FTPing the files to the server...but that would mean setting up an FTP server.

I'm assuming you've setup the wwwroot folder as a share? Check the permissions on the share.

none above solutions work. i did try about thirteen different solutions til i found this one:

make an alias, sharing a folder outside of wwwroot to this alias. this folder has not restricted safety restriction restrictions (dont ask), and with some config, this acutally works. i sure am a happy camper now!

I took the ez way out on that one. Just share the webroot folder and map to it on your LAN PC.
