Virtual directory shared on network

Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I have a windows 7 64 bit server with IIS enabled for hosting ASP.net Webforms applications.
Currently these web apps are all stored on the c drive in a folder named AppSource.
Each application is stored in a different folder within this folder named Source.
Each of these app is only accessible within the company's intranet network only each on a different port.
To make these apps accessible to all employees i have created a Windows firewall bypass rule for each app.

The question that I have is this folder named Source appears to be shared on the company wide network.

If I remove the share for this folder will the users be still able to access the web apps without any "Access Denied" errors?

Please help.
Thanks in Advance

If your applications access via IIS (as web applications) there is no need to share the physical path to the application - it's shared via IIS...
Of course you have to keep the ports open on the firewall...

They are added to IIS as websites.
Users upload/delete documents & pictures of all types in each of these apps.
