HelloWe have a document library that is on our internal Sharepoint. We'd like to put this on our external internet website.Is this possible or do we need the external Sharepoint setup?Thanks

Follow the steps to access the internal site via internet Extend the internal web application and while extending provide the host header somedomain.com and Port 80 (you can give different port number also) Go to Central Administration > Operations > Alternate Access Mappings > Edit Public Zone URLs Update the setting as below: Default : http://servername:<portnumber> //Internal Sharepoint site application url Intranet: leave blank Internet: http://somedomain.com Custom: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:<portnumber> // External IP address to which somedomain.com is mapped Extranet: leave blank

I guessing that the external site is not SharePoint...Nothing out of the box...If the SharePoint is accessable from the outside, or does not support anonymouse access:For lists in general you could write some code on the external site to access the SharePoint lists using the SharePoint web services. You will not be able to link directly from the external web page to a document in a SharePoint library without the user authenticating. You could via code let the user click a link on the external site, then you download or stream the document through that site.You could also setup SharePoint for anonymous access then either redirect the users to the SharePoint library page, or through the web service approach above give them links to the documents on the anonymous acces SharePoint page.Mike Smith TechTrainingNotes.blogspot.com

Hey there, I'm looking to do something very similar to "You could via code let the user click a link on the external site, then you download or stream the document through that site." are there any examples on how to do this? We have a document list that we want to distribute to clients who sign up to the service but somehow control/track their access S
