Can you debug local files against a remote server??

[kathryn]

Good afternoon. I have just finished the Adv CF class, which finally taught me how to use the debugger, and the it works great for files that are physically on the same server (GENESIS) as CF Server.

However, we use Visual SourceSafe here and therefore, I have a complete set of files on my D: drive, in a folder called Working. When I want to browse the files, I check them back in using Visual SourceSafe and then use my IE browser.

Is there any way to debug these files locally against the remote server? I have shared the local Working folder, in the thought that that would enable the remote server to have a name to refer to my files as.

I hope this question makes sense, if not let me know. Any ideas, references, war stories greately appreciated.

no it's not the way it works !! you have to set an alias for path to your local files in the web server (it's a good idea to share the folder tho, as it'll allow the web server to "see" the path to them)
i've been working for about 1 year with vss and cf, and the server was NOT on my machine, but my files were - and it worked !!! just set up the web sever
and don't debug using url such as : \\C:\myfiles\.... !!! it'll NEVER work !! you have to use a usrl such as : \\your_web_server\the_alias_for _the_path_to_your_files\...
