I have a server with win7 and a big share on
C:\share
In this share there are many symbolic links to files on other local disks like
C:\share\file.txt(symlink) <-> D:\file.txt
I can access the file over:
C:\share\file.txt
\server\share\file.txt
but if I try to access from an other pc I can't open the file. I'm able to delete, rename ... the link but it seems that the symbolic link isn't processed by the server.
Can I change something with cifs to make this work?
I already checked the acls of the link and the file and set them to allow everybody everything. I also can access the file with d$.
Hope there is a solution...
