Someone said for you to use file://  ...  That works locally, and that may
be what you want.  But if you want to be able to access it remotely
through your http://www.somewhere.com/folder_x then I'd suggest using
symlinks..

"man ln" for info, but I think you want:

"ln -s /home/myname/folder_y /main-www-folder/folder_x"

Please forgive me if this isn't right, but I think it should work   :-)
