Yes, you can. I actually let my [registered] users download files that are
stored on a different PC to the server. The server pulls the file across and
provides a header allowing download - mine are all PDFs but I don't see that
Word files would be a problem - just a different content-type.
I use Apache, but previously used IIS (NT4) without any problem. (I switched
to Apache to do some extra java stuff that was impossible under IIS.)
My code:
<?php
$fp=$_POST['fp'];
$tr_id=$_POST['tr_id'];
$fpd = "G:\\".$fp.".pdf";
$len = filesize($fpd);
header("Content-Type: application/pdf");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=$fpd");
header("Content-Title: $fpd");
header("Content-Length: $len");
readfile($fpd);
?>
Cheers
George

Directly yes, but you can proxy it through a server-side script.

Gustav,
Windows 2003 Server/PHP 5.0.1
Is it possible to download a file from a server that is at for
example u:/documents/ which is not under the www-root?
How would I reference that file. (I just want to open it -for
example a word-file)
Yes, you can. I actually let my [registered] users download files that are
stored on a different PC to the server. The server pulls the file across and

header("Content-Title: $fpd");

As long as the user that Apache is running under has NTFS read
permissions to the target folder, then you should have no problems. A
quick and dirty force method that I use would be something like this:
$file = "x:\\path\\to\\the\\file.pdf";
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/force-download');
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($file));
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=' . basename($file));
readfile($file);
Note the double backslashes! Cheers.
