Is it possible to access Alfresco CIFS through Internet

alfrescocifsinternet

I know it's a security issue, but just by curiosity (I can't find a proper answer to that!), is it possible?

I defined cifs.broadcast=255.255.255.255 in the Alfresco configuration, but whatever I define, I can't access it.

I'm trying :

  • \ip\alfresco
  • \SERVER\alfresco (with SERVER defined in hosts)
  • \SERVERA\alfresco (with SERVER and SERVERA defined in hosts)

I'm sure CIFS is working because if I connect with a local machine, it works well, but not via Internet.

Thanks for your enlightenment! 🙂

Most sane ISPs will filter CIFS traffic. You'll need to set up a VPN to the server and tunnel the CIFS traffic over that.
