Can't get network drive to work #912

Description

I am trying to configure Dokany to export a file system with a UNC path. I have tried and failed with both mirror and memfs. My command line is the following:

memfs.exe /d /l z /n /u \localhost\myfs

When I use the FS from z:, it works fine. But when I try to access it using \localhost\myfs, I get an error:

I also don't see the drive in \localhost. I have also tried entering my hostname instead of localhost with the same result. Also, I have the same problem using mirror.exe.

In the debug output, I see \localhost\myfs going to Dokany:

What am I doing wrong?

@katcherw Hi,

Localhost can only be used by sharing the drive by the windows interface. The /u option allows you to use another name like \myfs\dokan1

Have you tried something else than Localhost?

katcherw commented 4 years ago

Thanks for the response. I tried \myfs\dokan1, and I see a network drive called that assigned to z:. I can't use the explorer to navigate to \myfs\dokan1 though.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what this option does. What I'd like to do is export a dokan file system over the network so it can be accessed by other clients. Is there a way to do that?

Liryna commented 4 years ago

@katcherw Yes that's different. You need to share the drive with the normal windows API / interface on the drive property.

katcherw commented 4 years ago

Okay, I see. Just out of curiosity, what is the use of the network option? Why not just access the drive using the drive letter instead of the UNC path?

Liryna commented 4 years ago

@katcherw Some people prefer to have the drive visible as network drive just to make a difference with local drive for the user and the UNC name to divide (brand?) even more

katcherw commented 4 years ago

Okay, I understand. Thanks for the help!
