Thanks for the reply! :)

But I'm afraid I cannot use "http://(file location)" in my case.
Let's take an example, I'd like to link a file that is under my C:\ drive, but the root directory of my website is under my D:\ drive. Then can I link that file under the C:\ drive on my website? Thanks~THanKs~~ :rolleyes:

Try using the IP address of the other server? Just a thought.

Are you using your computer as a personal web server for your website? If not, then you can't link to a file on your computer.

starrwriter, I'm using IIS server for my website. I think I can link file on my website. :)

I'm going to try on using the IP address. Thanks, Tom! :cool:
