Using getURL to access network files

I am working on an Intranet site and I need a button in Flash
to open a file that's on our network share. I know about the getURL
function and use it often to link to HTML files that are on the
same server as the web files, but I don't know how to use getURL to
open external files on the network:
example:
on (release) {
getURL("page1.html", "_blank");
page1.html is located on the webserver but contains a link to
\\server1\share1\document1.doc (server1 is a different server on
our network)
I want to eliminate the middle man and link directly to
document1.doc, but I don't know how to do that with getURL since
document1.doc is not on the webserver.
Thanks for any advice.

I don't believe you can like directly to this file on your
network because of the security features built into flash which
will not allow network access such as this.

  • Using JNDI to access config file located outsite j2ee app

    Hi I'm wanting to store a config file for my J2ee app, somewhere on a tomcat server possibly inside the
    conf/ directory so that I can update this config file without having to redeploy the j2ee app every time a change is made.
    I've been told I can use JNDI to access this file, but I can't seem to find any examples or documentation on how I can do this.
    I'm new to JNDI and would appreciate any help, or suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Tim
    EDIT:
    So far I can access the file with this code:
    Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
              env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory");
              try {
                   Context ctx = new InitialContext(prop);
                   // look up context for name
                   //env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "file:C:\\confluence\\confluence-2.5.1-std\\conf");
                   File f = (File)ctx.lookup("/confluence/confluence-2.5.1-std/conf/test.txt");My new problems are:
    1. The commented line env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "file:C:\\confluence\\confluence-2.5.1-std\\conf"); it says in examples that this should set the dir to look in to the conf dir but if i change the lookup value to just test.txt it cannot find it.
    2. Can I somehow set the context to look into the conf directory of Tomcat without hard coding the path, as the path could change or be different on different machines??

    Hi Kiran,
    Looking at the code you sent and the error, it looks like you should be casting the ds object to a javax.sql.DataSource object not a weblogic.jdbc.common.internal.RmiDataSource object.
    You may find some useful info at the following URL:

  • What path to use to access network files from Java app running on Mac

    I have a Java app running on a Mac with OS X that I'm using to check for files that exists on Windows servers within our network.
    Using a path like /Volumes/<Share>/ works because I've already connected to the drive using Finder. If I try to use a fully qualify the path with "smb://<Server>/<Share>" then my app doesn't see anything. Is there any way that I can get Java to connect to a directory without first having mapped or made the connection via some external tool like Finder?
    Here's the code I'm testing with:
    package FileImports;
    import java.io.File;
    import java.util.Arrays;
    public class Dir {
    static int indentLevel = -1;
    static void listPath(File path) {
    File files[];
    indentLevel++;
    files = path.listFiles();
    if (!(files == null)){
    Arrays.sort(files);
    for (int i = 0, n = files.length; i < n; i++) {
    for (int indent = 0; indent < indentLevel; indent++) {
    System.out.print(" ");
    System.out.println(files.toString());
    if (files[i].isDirectory()) {
    listPath(files[i]);
    indentLevel--;
    } else System.out.println("Directory not accessible!");
    public static void main(String args[]) {
    // this path works where <share> = the directory where my files exist.
    listPath(new File("/Volumes/<share>"));
    // this path returns a null result in files
    // listPath(new File("smb://<Server>/<Share>/"));
    Thanks,

    Thanks for the response. I'll have to dig a little deeper into JCIFS. It looks like it would work great windows to windows. I haven't been able to find in the documentation where it would work on OS X without having to mount the targeted file system first. Has anyone had success creating a connection to a windows file system from OS X with JCIFS?Since jCIFS is written in pure Java and implements the entire SMB/CIFS protocoll on it's own it doesn't require any support from the OS (apart from a normal JVM runnig). Thus it should work exactly the same in OS X and Windows (and Linux and Solaris and ...).

  • I cannot access network files from Captivate 6 Trial

    I downloaded the trial version of Captivate 6 for evaluation. My company stores our data on a server. When I try to open a file Captivate does not have an option to go to the server, which in this case is set up as my Z drive. All my other Adobe programs work fine. We have a much, much older version of Captivate that is on another computer and it works fine. The trial version will open any files I have on my laptop but not from the network. I can't even see them in the Captivate open file menu. If I open the folder where the files are stored and right click and "open with" I can get the file to open, howevr I get an error saying that some of the features may not function well because I don't have administrator privilages and I should close and open the program with "run as administrator". Is there a setting that I missed? If it is a case where all the files must be stored locally for Captivate to see them, this will not be a viable option for our company.
    I run an Alienware M15x Running Windows 7 64bit.
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    As far as the replay function. Captivate does not have a simple button that allows for a slide to replayed from the beggining should a person need to. For example (just in case my explination is not very good), we have slides that include animations that were created in Flash. The slides also include audio. There is no simple way, at least not on that is listed anywhere that we can find, and we have searched for days, by where you can simply insert a button that will start the slide over and replay the animation as well. I mean a "simple" solution. It can be done with coding and manipulation of the flash files, and the creation of our own buttons. This method is just more work than I would expect for what should be a very standard feature. Any good, anc Captivate is by no means a horrible program, and I am still on the upside of the learning curve here, any good learning course allows for the student to replay a slide just in case they need to hear something twice or four times. If you know of a very simple way of doing this, there are tons of folks out there that would love to know. On Adobe's own forums the solution most suggested was to insert a blank slide before the slide animation and have your button go to the previous slide. We did find a way to accomplish this but it takes a bit of coding and the use of a widget to do. The issue is that it is not consistant. Sometimes it works other times it does not. This may be because of the network issues with Captivate. I am trying to get it downloaded to a desktop and see if that will solve the problem,  but the download has failed so I won't know for a while yet.
    For the network thing, I don't doubt what you say at all, as far as the program needed the files locally. It just seems, especially in the year 2012 (almost 2013) that this is an issue. I have the entire Adobe CS6 suite as well as CS4 Creative Suite and have not had a single issue with any one of those programs funtion with the files stored on a different machine. Agreed, if we want to use Captivate we must use it the way you have suggested, it just seems like they would have designed it so folks could work over networks easier. It is not a matter of NOT being Willing to work this way, it is a matter of needing to be more efficiant and share data between several folks working on the same projects.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Using JDBC to access text file

    I gotta admit I didn't research it much. this is not like 'Help!!! Urgent!!!' question. I'm just curious. how do you work with tab-delimited files using JDBC? what driver do you need? same question goes for .csv files. I'm doing fine by just using file streams (no JDBC), splitting every line (split method of String class) and storing them in array. just curious. there are 10 shmukes for good answer, 5 for tab delimited and 5 for .csv (shmuke is my equivalent of dukes, they are almost as good (both are worthless)). I'll save dukes until I need some real answers.

    Go over to the JDBC forum and do a search...I recently had a discussion of the particulars of this with thomas.kellerer.
    Basically, you can use the Microsoft Text Driver if you're on a Windows platform. The Text driver gives you the option of defining your delimiter and headers for each file in a directory. The directory is considered the catalog (the database), and each file is considered a separate table. Works very well...I'm incorporating it into a project of mine.
    Good luck!

  • If I connect a time capsule via ethernet to an existing internet connection and use it to create a private wifi network for my wireless devices, will other users on the primary network (not the private wifi one) be able to access my files on my TCapsule?

    Like it says in the title basically.
    I want to use a time capsule to store my files and backups and access it from my phone and MacBook Air. However I do not want the others in my house who are currently connected to the same wifi/ethernet router to use my connection or my TC hard drives.
    I had also been thinking about wirelessly extending the wifi network (a linksys N router) but I guess that will allow everyone to access my Time Capsule?
    I hope you guys can help me.
    Regards, Guido

    ......will other users on the primary network (not the private wifi one) be able to access my files on my TCapsule?
    No, if you have not provided them with the Time Capsule device password. 
    Users will be able to "see" the Time Capsule icon under the SHARED heading in the Finder on their Macs, but they will not be able to access the drive or the files.
    I had also been thinking about wirelessly extending the wifi network (a linksys N router) but I guess that will allow everyone to access my Time Capsule?

  • Data Federator: Access Text file from secured Network Share or Sharepoint?

    Hi,
    I am using BusinessObjects Data Federator Designer XI 3.0 Service Pack 2 - 12.2.2.0 (Build 1002172322) and I'm new to DF.
    I am trying to use the Text File Datasource type to connect to a file on a secured Network Share and from a Sharepoint 2010 document repository. Is this possible?
    I am currently able to use the Text File datasource to read a file from a public network share (
    share\public\folderpath\file) or on the local federator machine using the "Local File" connection but cannot put in a username/password for accessing a secure network share. Is there a built in DF username/password that should be granted access to the share?
    Neiher the FTP File System or SMB Share seemed like it would work here either.
    For the Sharepoint connection, I know that I can make a webservice on a list and connect DF to the webservice, but I want to just connect to the document repository. I was unable to get this to work even with Sharepoint repositories using WebDav since the Local File method did not accept the url string (http://mysite.<org>.com/personal/<user>/Shared Documents). Is there any way to do this without having to change the way the file is exposed on the Sharepoint side?
    How is this normally handled? Put the files on a unsecured network share or on the DF server? Import the files into a DB and just use DB connections?
    Finally, is there a way to import XLS/XLSX files in DF or only CSV files?  I saw DI has an Excel Adaptor but didn't see anything for DF and when I tried it either could not retrieve the XML schema or reading the file's data failed.
    Thanks alot for the help.

    Bump, any help here with Data Federator usage?  Sharepoint, XLS files, or using secured network share?

  • Crashes when running applications from network share - "Windows cannot access the file for one of the following reasons"

    Hi,
    starting a couple of weeks ago, we get the following error(s) when running applications from a network share. We don't know what causes this, we are not aware of any major changes in our network infrastructure or client/Server configuration. We did upgrade
    a lot of machines to Windows 8, but the issue also occurs on older Win7 computers.
    We figured out a workaround though: The applications run fine when launching from a FQDN share (like
    \\share.domain.Company.com) and only cause problems when running from
    \\share directly. They have worked fine for years without FQDN though.
    Any ideas?
    Error Details (the Kind of error differs greatly):
    # 1 #
    Log Name: Application
    Source: Application Error
    Date: ...
    Event ID: 1005
    Task Category: (100)
    Level: Error
    Keywords: Classic
    User: N/A
    Computer: vmDEV
    Description:
    Windows cannot access the file for one of the following reasons: there is a problem with the network connection, the disk that the file is stored on, or the storage drivers installed on this computer; or the disk is missing. Windows closed the program XYZ
    because of this error.
    Program: XYZ
    File:
    The error value is listed in the Additional Data section.
    User Action
    1. Open the file again. This situation might be a temporary problem that corrects itself when the program runs again.
    2. If the file still cannot be accessed and
    - It is on the network, your network administrator should verify that there is not a problem with the network and that the server can be contacted.
    - It is on a removable disk, for example, a floppy disk or CD-ROM, verify that the disk is fully inserted into the computer.
    3. Check and repair the file system by running CHKDSK. To run CHKDSK, click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the command prompt, type CHKDSK /F, and then press ENTER.
    4. If the problem persists, restore the file from a backup copy.
    5. Determine whether other files on the same disk can be opened. If not, the disk might be damaged. If it is a hard disk, contact your administrator or computer hardware vendor for further assistance.

    Hi,
    >>The applications run fine when launching from a FQDN share
    It sounds like a DNS suffix issue. When this issue occurs, please try to ping share on the client, then check if the corresponding IP address is correct. If the IP address is wrong, please adjust your settings of DNS to make sure that the client can resolve
    the share correctly.
    If it's very hard to change the settings of the DNS for some reason, as a work around, we can add the entry into the clients' hosts file.

  • Windows 7 computers asking for network password to access shared files and printers on Windows XP PRO computer.

    I have a network of 10 computers configured as peer-to-peer work group. I have upgraded one of the ten from Windows XP PRO to Windows 7 PRO. The other nine computers are all running XP PRO. AS near as I can tell they are all configured the same. I have the
    same user and same passwords on all computers. One of XP computers is used as a print server. The Windows 7 computer initially was able to access shared files and printers on all XP machines with out requesting a network password.
    Suddenly, the Win 7 computer began requesting a network password to access the shared files and printers on the XP print server. It will not accept any of the user names or passwords (all administrators on both machines with identical names and passwords.)
    The Win 7 computer has no problem accessing the shared files on the other XP machines. It can even access shared printers in a different work group. Apparently something has changed but I'm at my wits end trying to figure what changed on either the Windows
    7 machine or the print server XP machine.
    I would appreciate any help. Thank you

    Tomcat (And other JSP/Servlet containers) have security restrictions which disallow you from accessing the local/remote file system. You will probably need to modify your security policy settings
    I believe Tomcat stores this file in $CATALINA_HOME/conf/catalina.policy
    You can read more here.

  • How do I fix this error: DF024: Unable to preserve original file at ... Error 32 The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.(Seq 1352).  ?

    I am installing creative the cloud Illustrator desktop app on a machine with windows 7 64 bit running in a domain environment.  The download starts and takes about runs for a bout 10 minutes and then stops with the error: DF024: Unable to preserve original file at "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014\Support Files\Contents\Windows\AdobeLinguistic.dll" Error 32 The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.(Seq 1352)
    I am logged in as a network administrator and there are no other apps except a web browser (Chrome) running.  There are no other users logged into the machine.
    How can I see what other process is using the needed file so that I can fix it?
    Thanks

    MelissaB34 it looks like you already are reviewing your installation log files but you can find more information at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.  From the error you have posted it appears that your current User account is either unable to update C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014\Support Files\Contents\Windows\AdobeLinguistic.dll or does not have sufficient file permissions to do so.  Since you mentioned you are on a domain please ensure that you are working with your I.T. department and have correct access to this directory.
    You may want to also consider logging in under a local administrator account to see if you face the same difficulties.  This would help you determine if you are facing a file corruption issue or file permission issue.

  • Using AirPort Time Capsule as an external drive with access to files by guest account

    Is it possible to use my AirPort Time Capsule as an external drive with access to files by a guest account?
    I would like to store a large number of folders containg photographs on my AirPort Time Capsule and allow anyone with a password to access the photographs - at the time of viewing the Time Capsule would be connected to the internet but I wouldn't want users to actually access anything other than the files on the Time Capsule - is this possible?  if so any help in configuring it would be really helpful.

    No it is not possible.. Guest is just that.. a guest that is allowed permission to access the internet but none of the local files.
    To give a person access to the TC they must have password to access your normal network..
    From there it is up to you how you do this.. people cannot actually access files on your computers unless you give them share and password permissions for that.. you can even setup accounts on the TC although I recommend against it.. if you want shared photos anyway. All security on a TC is illusion.. merely pressing the reset and it is all blown away.. so if you are concerned about security don't put stuff on the TC people should not access.. or like your TM backups ensure they are encrypted.
    A person can then access you TC and the photos.. but what else on the network??
