How to connect file shared into VPN P2S Azure

Question

Hello, I have a VM in Azure and I have created a VPN Point to Site, I connect a client machine through the VPN P2S and in the VM in Azure that shared some folders on the network.

How can I view these folders in the windows file explorer on the client computer?

I will appreciate your support.

Thanks.

Answer 1

On the client (connected via P2P VPN) open a File Explorer and enter this in the Adress Bar:

\\<ip from your VM>\<name of the share>

Maybe you have to enter user and password.

Answer 2

Hello, thanks for the contribution, however I have done this step and I get the following message:

I do communication tests to the VM and ping the VM.

Answer 3

If you just enter \\192.168.100.7\ do you see the shares of the VM?

If not: Please check the firewall of the VM if the File and Printer Sharing incoming is allowed.
