Hi All,
Is it possible to create a link into the filesystem like: file://m:\
Rumi
No. Server 'folders/drives' cant be accessed like that. Such urls will always resolve to the client (you) not the server. You could use UNC path identifiers eg \\server\folder which will get you closer.
Hi Rumi,
we are using such links. There are some limitations to this. Of course, every user must have the same drive letters.
Another limitation is, that these links are only working with Internet Explorer.
Cheers
Thomas
In my mozilla (linux), this URL works just fine file:///etc/passwd
(they should work on all browsers if the users have the same mounts; however that's not very nice IMHO)
Links are resolved by the client, so yes, Andy is right.
Besides UNC you can do if on linux - mount the remote directories under std confluence directory (or link them with ln -s) so you'll be able to acess it via the normal http dir
CONFLUENCE_HOME/confluence/linkeddir_or_mounteddir/file
http://server:port/linkeddir_or_mounteddir/file
Hi Andy,
thank you for the suggest.
But I never herad of UNC, what is that?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_(computing) See UNC within, its \\server\\path, however, embedding the link gets more complex. See this other question.
