Hi Ziggy,
Actually that doesn't work on ff because it's a security issue: it cannot let
web pages just access random files on your computer (see
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_don%27t_work ). It's a security
issue in general, not only for firefox, that's why linking to a file on the
local filesystem does rarely make sense in web applications.
Moving them to the webapps/xwiki will not make things better for the file://
links, but instead you'd be able to write links like:
http://yourHost/xwiki/file.ext
and they would work (on IE too).
Happy hacking,
Anca

Hi,
Yes it looks like it does work with IE. I was using Firefox which is my main
browser. I will try storing the files in webapps/xwiki and see if that will
make any difference.
Thanks

If you limit browser list to IE, you can used URL
like
file://C:/somewehre/somefile.doc
Or else store your file file in webapps/xwiki but not in WEB-INF folder

http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users Hi,
Isnt there a way to link to a file on the local file system? I tried
using
both the WYSIWYG editor and the creole syntax and
both dont work. I know
i
can link to an attachment but thats not what i
want. I want to add a
hyperlink to a document that links to a file that is somewhere on the C:
drive. Is this possible?
Im using the latest version of xwiki downloaded yesterday.
Thanks
