I have a Scanner-device which is a little complicated to handle.
In fact, I got it onlly to work with a FTP-account. SO, my scans all are sent to a FTP-directory.
Now, I would like to present this directory as an iSCSI-target to a W2008-machine.
The DMS-software wants a volume instead of a share.
Can someone help me ?

Re: directory as an iSCSI-Target?
iSCSI is a block device protocol not a fileshare protocol.
Meaning a iSCSI target/LUN will be handled as a normal hard drive, the host will then have to create a filesystem etc. on that block device.
So basically to both get the same "directory" as a iSCSI volume on the W2008 machine and a FTP share you would need to present a complete LUN to the W2008 host.
Setup a FTP service on that W2008 host, the scanner will then need to target the scans to that FTP service.
