Publishing a network folder

You can publish a filesystem folder via UNC path to open in Windows explorer. To minimize the number of configuration steps, a special publishing item is available that allows you to publish a network folder from a PC.

To publish a network folder:

1. In the RAS Console, select the Publishing category and then click the Add icon below the Published Resources tree (or right-click inside the Published Resources box and click Add in the context menu). This will launch the publishing wizard.
2. On the Select Item Type wizard page, select Folder on the file system and click Next.
3. On the Select Server Type page, select Remote PC and click Next.
4. On the Remote PC UNC Folder wizard page, specify the usual application properties.
5. In the UNC path field, enter the UNC path of the folder you wish to publish. Click the [...] button to browse for a folder (it may take some time for the Browse for Folder dialog to open).
6. In the Remote PC Settings section, select the [...] button and then select a Remote PC from the list.
7. On the next page, specify the initial status of the resource. Choose from Enabled (end users can launch the resource), Disabled (the resource will not appear in Parallels Client), In maintenance (the resource will appear in Parallels Client but users will not be able to launch it). When a resource is in maintenance and a user tries to launch it, they will see a message. To customize the message, click the Configure button. For more info, see Site defaults (Publishing).
8. Click Finish to publish the folder and close the wizard.
