I'm trying to link to an explorer window with a directory listing for a shared drive from my web page, with no luck.

I've tried many ways, including:

<a href=&quot;\\ServerName\dir\subdir&quot;>ServerName</a>

(this tags &quot; on the front and gives me a page not found error)

<a href=&quot;file:///..//ServerName/dir/subdir&quot;>ServerName</a>

(I found the last one on this forum, but it didn't work - the status line displays &quot;Done&quot;, with no error message, a blank page is displayed, and the address in the URL line remains the same as the page I was on.

I know the drive is valid - if I type in \\ServerName\dir\subdir in the URL line it takes me where I want to go.

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
This should works:

<a href=&quot;file://///ServerName/dir/subdir&quot;>ServerName</a>
