how to hyperlink to a file or dir on another server

[caimbo]

I am new to html, and need to know how to send a user to a file or directory on another server via a clickable link

Just specify the full filename with the domain:

<a
href="http://www.server.com/file.ext">File on another server</a>

The server I want to direct users to is not a web server but it does reside on our internal lan.
I have been trying to use the unc path eg \\cc\public\quotes
but im unsure of context server is seen to reside in

I'm not sure about this, but maybe using the file:/// protocol would help? file:///\\cc\public\quotes
