File folder in web link

As you know, we can define URL in web link assignment block . So  user touch the web link can direct to the URL. But now the user has a new requirement. User want to put the path of share file folder in web link, but should not  work.How to map the path of share file folder into URL? or how to put the path into web link? Thanks.

Hi Ben,
Yes, there are definitely security implications. It works ok with IE and FF if you are opening local folders. It won't work if you're trying to access files/folders from remote servers - we tried to open folders from other servers on our domains and it wouldn't do it.
You can, as you say, edit settings to get around this (and, yes please, I'd like to see what settings you're changing). You can also "log in" to the remote system using login/password parameters in the url - but, as you quickly realise, this is even less secure!
In some instances, you can get around it by changing the url slightly:
file://localhost\c:/etc
This sometimes tricks the browser into thinking you're accessing files from the local machine. Another alternative, which we couldn't use, was to map a drive on your machine - again, this only worked sometimes.
I could not find a solution that worked in all situations. Fortunately, for us, we got our users to login to our networks remotely using F5 and this allowed access to files.

  • How can I prefill an xdp file from a web link

    Hi
    Prior to using LifeCycle Designer, there was a means to use a document javascript to parse through a url and set values of a PDF with the url's parameters.
    Now with LifeCycle Designer, that document level javascript is gone.
    So how do I have a list of web links that point to my xdp file, but each has parameters that I want to pass into the xdp before it ones?  Things like firstname lastname,etc. 
    I am not using LifeCycle Server.

    You can't. PS doesn't do SVG and even if it did, it wouldn't retain SO vectors in teh way you probably expect it to. That's simply not how SVGs work. You will have to use Inkscape, Illustrator or otehr tools, if you realyl need vector SVGs.

  • Open Windows folder from web link - Firefox

    Hi Guys,
    I'm trying to open a folder either through a link in Firefox, it doesn't open.
    Link:
    <a href="file://Server/Folder/" target="_blank"/>Open Directory</a>
    - IE8 works fine
    - FF 3.0.13 does nothing.
    I've also tried the OPENDIR funtion without any luck.

    If you are attempting to have this code on a page that is running from a web server, this won't work with most browsers. Are you running this page from the file system, or a web server?
    The best way to handle opening a remote file or dir is to use server side scripting.

  • .msg File Uploads/Opening via Link

    I have a ColdFusion app that allows users to upload attachments, normally text files, Word docs, Excel files, and images.  These uploaded attachments can then be opened from inside the ColdFusion app by clicking on the generated links to each attachment.  Works great, no issues until somebody decided that they needed to upload Outlook .msg files.  The .msg file uploads to the server but will not open when the link is clicked, get a 404 file not found error.  I can browse to and open the file.
    So, is there a trick to open a .msg file via a web link?  I would expect it to work like a Word doc, launch Outlook and open the file.

    Thanks, works as expected now.

  • How to open files from web links in safari

    II can't figure out to get a file downloaded from a web link into numbers, pages, etc.

    Matt-
    I think the App that uses the files must have its own web access to be able to download.  Perhaps another App that has web download capability can act as an intermediary using the "Open In" option.
    One candidate might be GoodReader.  It has some web download and file transfer capability, and does have the Open In option.  However, it apparently must be able to read a file before you can get to the Open In option.
    Another approach is to use iTunes on your computer.  With the iPad connected to the computer, run iTunes and select the iPad under DEVICES.  Click on Apps at the top of the window and scroll down to File Transfer.  If an App appears there, data files can be synced to it by selecting it and dropping the files in a folder in the right hand window.

  • Help required with downloading files from inside WEB-INF folder

    I am working on a web application and I have an upload script which uploads different files to a foler called 'uploads' . To stop users from accessing the folder content I have put it in the /WEB-INF/.
    In my JSP file, I used to link to the uploaded files like this before for users to download them :
    if(filesListIterator.hasNext()
    files = (FilesBean)filesListIterator.next();
    <tr><td><a target="_new" href="<%=files.getFileName()%>">"<%=files.getFileName()%></a></td></tr>
    }I need to know how to alter the above link to make it access/download files from the /WEB-INF/uploads/ while still restricting direct access to the files.
    Thanks

    Anything under WEB-INF is not directly accessible via the browser/ client. You could try defining the JSP/ Servlet inside web.xml deployment descriptor and see if you can access the file from there.
    I think a better way to accomplish this would be to keep the file outside WEB-INF , and use other techniques to protect the folder that contains the file - for example password-protection, or defining a .htaccess file and serving a 403 Forbidden error.

  • PDF export with link to document defaulting to "Open a web link" instead of "Open a file"

    I have a MS Access database and I'm trying to export reports to PDF (I have Acrobat XI Pro) that include a hyperlink to another document on the same drive on my computer.  I have tested this with hyperlinked email addresses, and emails export fine to PDF and are still functional, opening a new email in Outlook.  The hyperlinks to documents work fine in MS Access, opening a Word, PDF, or other document when clicked.
    When I export to PDF, the links to documents say, "This document is trying to connect to: file:" and my filepath.  If I say "Allow," the link tries to open in my default web browser, which comes up blank.  I've tested this on other computers in our office too.  When I right-click the link, I have the option to "Open weblink as a new document" -- this opens the document successfully, but won't be very helpful or fast for our staff.  When I examine the link with Tools - Add or Edit Link, I see that the link's action defaulted to "Open a web link" when the PDF was created.  This seems like it should be "Open a file."  To see if "Open a file" would work in theory, I tried creating a test button in a blank PDF and made the "mouse up" action "Open a file" and linked to various documents on my computer.  Each time, the button does not react to being clicked at all, like nothing happened.
    I also tried making a basic Word doc with just the hyperlink to another document.  It works fine in Word, but, when saved as a PDF, the hyperlink does the same behavior-- tries to connect to the web instead of opening the file on the computer.
    I have a lot of experience building Acrobat PDF forms and working in Acrobat, and I'm almost certain I've created links that open another file on the computer in Acrobat before, but I'm out of ideas and an internet search isn't turning up much.  I welcome any suggestions for things to try.  Thank you!

    This is what I currently have, and it attempts to open in a web browser.  Do you know of a setting in Acrobat I might need to change, or any other solution to tell Acrobat to open the "file:" URL as a document, not try to start the web browser?

    I am attempting to install Camera raw from a .zip file provided via a link provided by adobe for a Nikon D810. The .zip file unzips fine and I moved the files to the recommended folder. But the operation is failing

    Can you describe what “the operation is failing” means?  What is happening and how is it different than what you expect?
    Also, what product are you trying to update manually, and do you have a link to the page of instructions, so we know what your attempting to do?

  • I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button

    I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button to navigate back to my starting point the bookmarks are replaced by "page thumbnails". Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

    Hi Pusman,
    While setting up the links, if you choose to open the file in a new window then you won't face this issue, then you can simply switch to the previous file and bookmark view will remain as it is.
    Does that helps with your query?
    Regards,

  • I am having a problem where pdf files on the web (i.e., links in a Word doc) open after an extended time and only as gobbldygook ( a file containing a series of characters and letters that make no sense).  This also happens for another Mac user coworker

    Hi There:  I am having a problem where pdf files on the web (i.e., links in a Word doc) open after an extended time and only as gobbldygook ( a file containing a series of characters and letters that make no sense).  This also happens for another Mac user coworker in my office, while the PCs don't have this problem...  Any help/suggestions for a fix would be most appreciated! 

    Just adding more info - MacBookPro running 10.5.8 and using Safari as the browser.  The problem comes and goes - sometimes the linked Word files will open OK, n others its just a strring of crazy characters... 

  • PLS files as web links won't open in ITunes; still say Winamp

                                                                                                                   Hello.  I apologize if this has been answered, but I searched to the best of my ability, and none of the answers I saw applied to this question.  They all seem to say that I should set ITunes up as my default Internet music player, but that option doesn't seem to exist any more.  I've seen things that tell me to go to  preferences -> advanced -> general, but that general tab isn't there any more.  I can't find a setting for "internet music player", so I thought I'd ask here.   I recently uninstalled Winamp because of various annoyances, knowing that ITunes can do everything it could do and more.  However, now, pls links won't play from either IE9 or Firefox.  I can download the pls file and play it that way by just double clicking it.  I've used the "Default Programs" method recommended for Windows 7 to make ITunes the default player for these files, and it works perfectly until I try to click on a web link.  When I save the pls file, the "File Type" combo box to the right of the file name edit box says "Winamp .pls file".  I'm guessing that the browsers are checking some other area and are finding Winamp as the pls player, trying to find it, failing, and returning to the web page with no error.  How can I fix this?  ITunes works perfectly except for web links.  I can't tell by trying other files because I have plugins that play all the other files I have found.  How do I make ITunes do this?

    Hi, Ed2345.  I apologize for clicking the "Correct Answer" button accidentally.  Firefox already has ITunes listed as the default player for "Winamp playlist files" which are .pls files.  I've gone to a few radio stations, some with AAC streams and some with mp3 streams and the results have been the same.  ITunes should be starting for these Winamp playlist files, but that's not happening.  How can I add the equivalent of a file extension setting in the browser?  These seem to be organized by MIME type.  Can I add an extension handler, or perhaps is there a MIME type missing?  If so, how do I add it in Firefox?  I don't see a "New" button.
    V/R,
    Brad
