An URL to a Windows shared folder [duplicate]

by

I think there are two issues:

  1. You need to escape the slashes.
  2. Browser security.

Explanation:

  1. I checked one of mine, I have the pattern:

    <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5796215/file://///server01\fshare\dir1\dir2\dir3">useful link </a>

    Please note that we ended up with 5 slashes after the protocol (file:)

  2. Firefox will try to prevent cross site scripting. My solution was to modify prefs.js in the profile directory. You will add two lines:

    user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.checkloaduri.enabled", "allAccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.localfilelinks.sites", "http://mysite.company.org");
