making links

[superdave1984]

How do I make a clickable link to a network resource such as f:\folder\file so it can be put on a webpage?

1. Sign up to Yahoo Geocities.

2. Post the files onto it.

3. Refer to it on how to post it as a URL link.

use the instructions here: http://www.webwizguide.com/asp/tutorials/installing_iis_winXP_pro.asp to make a virtual drive and then link to it.

talldude, unfortunately it's under a corporate umbrella so that would get frowned on.

kfc that looks like my best solution. I'll try that tomorrow and see how it goes. Thanks to you both.

well wait a second. If this is in a corporate, this might not be the best thing either unless you are your network's admin. You have to open up ports on your computer and change a bunch of settings to make this visible to the outside world.

I don't want it visible to the outside world, just our intranet. So your solution should work fine right?

 

[superdave1984]

It worked perfectly Thanks a ton. Now I can really make some improvements to our little intranet site.

 

[kfc469]

good. glad it worked. Now, if you really want to, it is quite easy to make that drive visible from home or anywhere.

 

[superdave1984]

I'll keep that in mind for future reference. Might be a good thing...............might not.

Hey, is there a way to use a network drive instead of my PC? That way if mine craps out, the links still work.
