Ok, so we have two servers. One with Sharepoint on (amongst other things) and one with our company documents on. Is it possible to link the two together so the documents get stored on the file server but can be displayed through SharePoint on the other server?
We want to be able to access the files through sharepoint when outside the office, but through the windows network when in the office, without having more than one copy of the same document.
Both servers are running windows 2003.
I would suggest the other way around. Place the documents in a SharePoint document library.
You can still access (and manage, update/move/delete/rename) them from a standard Windows Explorer using the WebDav protocol by simply browse to \YourSharePointServer\DocLib
You will benefit from SharePoint access when not in the office (or, by all means, when you are in the office), access them from an Explorer window internally, and have only one copy stored without redundancy.
Plus, version control of the documents (if needed).
