skafy Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Hi, I wonder how is it possible (if it is) to show content of one x folder in browser. I tried to use label with <a href> with following lines <a href="C:\FB6\">Link text</a> <a href="file:///C:FB6/">Link text</a> It just starts processing and than "page crash" - timeout & refresh button shown In browser console it says - Prevented navigation to “c:\FB6\” due to an unknown protocol. How can this be done? If I enter file path manualy in new tab it works - like shown below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherzod Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Hello, Your case is not very clear. Where do you want to open, in a separate tab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picyka Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 If I understand correctly, you need to view files from the server in the browser. I did something similar, but I did it with an api Sorry if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means a webpage hosted on a website somewhere will never be able to link to files on your hard drive. You'll need to open your webpage locally using the file protocol if you want to do this stuff at all. How did you did it with API? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoting from above source: Quote Before the HTML5 file API can access a file from the local file system, the user has to select the file to give access to. For security reasons selecting files is done via the <input type="file"> HTML element. Here is an input element example: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
