scenario.

Sharepoint Server
File server.

in sharepoint you can publish documents and it asks you for the document and then copies the damn file upto itself.

I want my documents to be left on the file server and if i edit it from within sharepoint i want it updated on the fileserver.

is this possible?

Regards

AFAIK sharepoint saves documents in a MSSQL database, so the whole sharepoint model would have to be changed to allow files to be saved within a file system.

You can sort of treat a sharepoint server as a file system, by connecting to sharepoint via remote website (In Windows, goto My Network Places -> Add Network Place -> follow the wizard). You can then browse the sharepoint website like a normal ftp site, albeit you can't fine tune the navigation structure.
