How to create link for local filesystem URI?

Help / Discuss
#1

Hiya, I was just noticing that inserting a URL like “file:///C:” doesn’t work on XWiki:
[[test>>file:///C:]]

XWiki doesnt do anything when you click it.

Do I have to try this a different way or might there be no way to redirect to viewing the local file system if users are using XWiki?

Hi. See the UNC syntax on https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/UserGuide/Features/XWikiSyntax/?syntax=2.1&section=Links

Note that for UNC to work your browser needs to have the related security feature relaxed or it may block it. You should google for that (for ex Links to local pages do not work - MozillaZine Knowledge Base).
