"file://" will only work if the resource is on the same machine as the browser or accessible through file system calls (i.e in is on a file server, not http server). If you are running the browser on intranet.netgear.com then you can try this:
file://$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/reportsArchive/par/ProductDD.xls where $TOMCAT_HOME is the full path to the TOMCAT base dir (or CATALINA_HOME for tomcat4). -----Original Message----- From: Jim Dempsey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2002 8:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problem with file URL How come I can access this URL: http://intranet.netgear.com:8080/reportsArchive/par/ProductDD.xls But cannot access this URL: file://intranet.netgear.com:8080/reportsArchive/par/ProductDD.xls I get an error message that it cannot find the file. The error message says make sure the path and filename are correct. I am using Tomcat 4.0.1 Is there some configuration setup that I am missing?
