Document on another server without IIS

Hi everyone

Can someone please confirm these suspicions?

I have a web server with IIS on it. I have a web page on this server with a hyperlink to a word document on another server. The second server is just a regular NT server, no IIS. When I follow the link the document does not load. I have the anchor tag syntax correct, and I'm using "http://server-name/full path"

Can someone please tell me - is this because I need a web server on the second server to pass files across using http?

Also, is there any way that I can make this file accessible from the web server, without copying the file across to the web server or installing IIS on the second server?

Thanks very much in advance for help with this problem!
 
If you use a http link you need a http daemon on that server. It depends on how you want the file accessed, if you need them to authenticate to the other NT server then you need to give them a UNC path, if you just want to give them the file not caring what credentials are used map a drive to the other NT server and reference it that way.
