Creating link to file location on network in confluence
On confluence I want to create a link that links to:
P:\myFolder\folder, where P is mapped to a network share.
Just putting in "P:\myFolder\folder" doesn't work. Any ideas?
(Assuming I cannot put in the full network path).
Answer
typically what would work is
file:///p:/myFolder/folder/
If there are spaces in the name like 'My Documents' you can surround the link with [ ]
[file:///p:/my Folder/folder/]
Of course you can also add an alias:
[The Folder|file:///p:/my Folder/folder/]
I just tested a variation of this and it seemed to work.
[file:///\\\\servername/share/folder/file.ext] works in IE (note two back slashes in front for the server name)
