I use a mediawiki extension called Link and I can link to shared folders and files with spaces in the names, for example:

<link>\server\share\this file.doc</link> Hope that this helps.

Hi Tobias,

have a look at http://assela.pathirana.net/File_Link_Extension

You'll also be needing the LocalLink-Extension https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/281 if you want to open the file-links from Firefox.

Hello all,

I need to link to local files and folders (mapped network drive). Problem: the folder and file names sometimes have spaces.

[file:K:\MyTest\file.doc File] - Works fine

[file:K:\My Test\file.doc File] - Link not completely recognized because of space in folder name

Can anyone help me with a solution? Is it also possible to link to folders (C:\My Test) or only to files?

Thanks alot Tobias
