[Mediawiki-l] link to windows network drive possible ?

[Alistair Johnson]

We got this working by using IIS to map a virtual directory to a directory
in our file system.

eg. A virtual directory "docs" in mapped to c:\docs
    To access the file c:\docs\abc.txt from the mediawiki interface we then
use [{{SERVER}}/docs/abc.txt abc.txt]

Works well and we use NTFS file permissions to restrict access to sensitive
files to authorised users.

We couldn't use file:// as most browsers block that by default now.

Cheers,

Al.

Hi folks,

is there a possibility in MediaWiki to create an external link to a windows
network folder like
\\server\folder1   ????

It does not work using syntax of external or internal links ;-(

Hope you can help me !
Thanks

Markus
