Web/Mac: Need a web page link to a server folder

[subifrisks]

Hi,
I'm making a web page with a link to a folder, i.e to the HD root, and must work in a Macintosh.

Simple, isn't it?

Another approach might be opening a web page to a server's folder, showing some files in a directory, and then upload some file to that directory (dragging, or opening a dialog).

thank you

Unfortunately you aren't going to get your wish this time It can't be done for the Mac using "off-the-shelf" software. I'm sure someone has developed a plugin or whatever... but to do this you would need to run some kind of back-end server that can process file system requests.

Using only Javascript, HTML and all the will in the world won't help you I'm afraid.

Hi mate,

What are you actually trying to achieve here? It looks lik 2 different things.

a link to a folder,
Another approach... upload some file to that directory

If you want to upload to this, install an FTP server. If you want to allow downloading/viewing pages etc directly from the root of the HDD, install Apache and add an alias that points to the HDD root.

Hope this helps

Wullie
