Conclusion:- You can also integrate FileServers into the Portal, how ever if the Portal is running on HP-UX it may not be possible to integrate Remote FileServers. In such scenerios, you may integrate these FileServers by adding them as virtual directories to an IIS server and integrating these virtual directories through the WebDav Repository Manager..............
