We do this for our Intranet (MediaWiki 1.4 running on IIS) by mapping a virtual directory to a share. We then can use

[http://ourserver/directory/filename.ext description] to access files that are on the share.

It's a little clumsy but it works. The added benefit is we can use NTFS security to restrict access to files (note we also use NTFS authentication via IIS for wiki authentication).

Hello all I am about to put up a wiki for internal company use, I will be using mediawiki, but i have just seen that docuwiki has support for windows shares, which may be quite useful. Is there a way to implement/use this in mediawiki? Thanks, H
