APM Network Shared Folder in Windows
Hello,
Is possible to public a network shared folder like I do in firepass? If it is possible, can you say me how?

no it is not, been asked from time to time here. contact you F5 SE and let them know it should be added sooner not later ;)
there are work arounds with external software like: http://www.element-it.com/asp-net-explorer-browser/online-share/web-file-manager.aspx

as far as I heard it had been decided not to port this FP functionality to APM. Maybe due to a lack of business cases with it. Application Tunnel could do it but then it's not web-based and will require usage of client-side components.
ha, no business cases, from what i heard this RFE has the most votes / requests of any APM request, still F5 doesnt do it, why ....?
an app tunnel doesnt work for this, we are talking file share traffic so SMB / CIFS that really doesnt tunnel very well.

You could also share your SMB/CIFS shares on your windows file servers through webdav (IIS) and make that available through your APM.
- tried that once, isnt as easy as i hoped. windows is quite particular about what a webdav server has to accept. and an external webdav server has issues with the apm being i between.

Have you tried adding "net use G: \server\share" commands to your Network Access object? APM will allow you to run commands on the end user's Windows device if using Edge Client with the relevant services installed/deployed.
