How do I access a file on my computer from a link on my hosted Website?

Hi Guys,
This is my first ever post so please be patient. I am running Windows XP and Dreamweaver CS4. From a hosted Webpage I have am trying to hyperlink to a excel file on my computer. When I click onto the hyperlink nothing happens.
The code for the hyperlink looks like this file:///C|/Users/mckiep/Desktop/9b.xls Do you have any suggestions on what it is I am doing wrong?

I don't think you want to expose your local computer to the internet like that - it's a huge security risk.
However, you could set up a script on the website to make an FTP connection to your local box and grab the file as needed. Of course, this will require some scripting skill, and will impose restrictions on you as the user of that file - suppose someone tries to get it at the same time as you are making changes?
Personally, I think it's a very bad idea.
I think the better way to do it would be to shift your work to a data-driven application on the web. Then, at least, the security issues would be solved. But you would still need the scripting skills to code the page within which your work is being done....

How do I import music files to new computer from external hard drive containing them

Have an older computer(G5 iMac) with Tiger 10.4.11 and iTunes that crashed. Have that computer and older version of iTunes residing on an external hard drive. I want to import music to new comptuer with newer version of iTunes. External hard drive is partitioned with just iTunes section. Any one done this before?

If you want to use the old iTunes library that you have from the ext HD then just drag the iTunes folder to the new Mac.
By default the iTunes folder Is Located - HD>Users>Your Account>Music>iTunes - if the internal HD has no iTunes library then just replace the iTunes folder with the one from the ext HD.
Launch iTunes with the 'option' key down and point iTunes to the iTunes Library that you want to open. It will remember the next time.

How can we access the file/directory system in the server

Hi friends,
I have made a text editor attached with an audio player for my project.
Both text editor and audio player are implemented in applet and put in to a
jsp page using jsp:plugin. Text editor and player are separate applets running
in the same page and from same server.A client who is using this editor may
want to save the edited text files to the server as well as hear audio files from
directories in the server.
My question is how can we access the file/directory system in the server
like we do in the local machine.When the user cliks save or openfromserver button
in the editor, folder/files in the server must be displayed as we do with FileChooser.
I am using Apache Tomcat 5,wiindows 2000 server, jdk1.5.

You can't access it directly. But your applet can make net connections to the server, and the server can provide that kind of functionality. Generally this is easiest by making HTTP connections and having the server provide the functionality via the web server. (So in your case, JSPs or servlets on the server would list/deliver/create/modify/delete files, and the applets would invoke those JSPs and servlets.

How i can access log file in servlet?

          Can i have peice of codes...
          Thanks in advance.!


This is not something that can be answered easily. There is quite alot of code involved....
To get started I suggest you read up on the built-in package 'DBMS_LOB' from Oracle . Most of what you need you should find there.

How can I access video file from sd card on ipad2?

How can I access video file from sd card on ipad2?

Your iPad 2 will see the video if:
It's in a DCIM folder on the top level of the card (which is how most cameras do it)
It's name is 8 characters, no more, no less (CKDI9483 for example)
It's a format that the iPad will play
I've made mp4's of things, folderized them right and named them 'right' and can transfer them to my iPad, so you can use a computer to make the files conform to what the iPad will see.

Newb question: How do I access the files on my usb disk?

I'm new to Mac, and have my airport extreme set up with my usb disk conntected, and set for file sharing. But how to I access the files that I already had backed up to my disk? Like pictures and videos and stuff that I want to use on my new Mac. I know it has to be something simple I'm just not doing, but I can't for the life of me figure it out.

in finder, click on the icon of the airdisk under the shared header, wait for the connection to be established (you may need to enter your admin password), then click on the folder representing the external drive connected to your extreme.
that should cause the drive to mount on your desktop after which you can access the files on the drive.

If I preformed a factory restore, and didn't restore from time machine, how can I access my files that were backed up?

I wiped my Mid 2009 MBP and decided not to restore from time machine backups but now I need access to a few of the files from the pervious backup, how do I access those files? The previous backups are purple and inaccessible from the time machine window.
Details: I use a G Drive to do my Time Machine backups.

While in Time Machine, press the key combination shift-command-C. The front window will show all mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible. Select the one you want and navigate to the files you want to restore.

HT4859 Can't access my files uploaded to iCloud, yet iCloud shows 2 out of 5 gigs used. How can I access my files?

I recently had an issues with my old iPhone 4s. I took it in to the apple store but the night before made sure I backed up my files to iCloud. After doing so I made sure my files were backed up because it went from 0 of 5 gigs to 2 of 5 gigs used. When I got my new phone, also an 4s, I tried to recover my contacts and pictures from iCloud, yet nothing happened. When I logged into icloud.com it shows no old contacts, actually none at all. I also can't figure out how to access my old pictures and files on icloud.com. When I go to icloud's settings on my iPhone it clearly shows 2 gigs of files yet when I try to restore the files to my new phone nothing actually gets added to the new phone. How can I access these files???? Anyone have any idea??

just tried restoring from backup and it didn't list it as one of the backup options after i wipe out the iphone yet for some reason it shows up when i go through settings>>>manage storage. thanks anyway. i may have to bite the bullet and sit and wait for a few hours at the apple store, argh...
