I have several users on an intranet and all have a mapped drive to server (E:). All users are on Win7 and use FireFox. I have used XAMPP on the server to allow users access to MySQL files using PHP. They currently use windows explorer to open a folder on (E:) so save/modify files (jpgs, docs etc.). I want to put a link in the html to open this folder for them.
I've spent some time researching this with varying amounts of success and I have found out that this may have security issues such as...
A web application does not have access to the local machine's filesystem
but these are all clients accessing the same server on a local intranet.
I can type...
file:///C:/MyFolder/MySubFolder/
in my browser address bar which opens a page with a directory listing of the files in the sub folder. Not ideal but half way to a solution!
But the script below does not work...
window.open("file:///C:/MyFolder/MySubFolder/");
Can this be done?
