wwprnama Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 So I've got this small lil network setup and I'm making some notes on my media server that I wanna link to on a page I plan on running off of my laptop. So I've tried the simple cut and paste address from the windows explorer to try and get the link to folder on the other media server to work on the page I'm running off of my laptop. Any suggestions as to how one could go about doing that? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/64225-link-to-a-lan-folder/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I'm assuming you are using windows You should be able to do: <a href="\\computer_name\folder-alias\">Folder name</a> Note: folder-alias is the share name you setup when you enabled the Share this folder on the network option in the Sharing tab for the folder you want to access over the network.

wwprnama Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 Yeah I tried that one already. I don't know if it's the fact that I am coding this and saving it as a php file or if it's because I am using firefox to view it. I found one article that showed you how to enable firefox to work around that, but I followed the instructions note for note and it did not resolve a single issue. Oh well, worst case scenario I just import a copy of it to the working directory the project I am working on and just deal with it.

NArc0t1c Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 For file viewing purposes, you could try the following(I use this with wamp). <a href="http://computer/share/">Computer</a> "computer" can also be the ip address.
