Earlier: "... We are using a wiki for internal policies and procedures and want to create links to files. I had assumed that using:-
[file://///FileStore/documents/AddingDomains.pdf Adding Domains]
would give me a clickable link but it doesn't. Is there a way of getting this to work?
Peter Blaise responds: Our problem was that not everyone's boot script gave them access to the same share drives, so we put the files under a web-served directory (or expand the web server configuration to include the desired existing directories). Then regular external HTML links work fine.
