    I am currently creating an intranet site, and can not manage to figure out how to link to a network share. I've tried:

    <a href="\\itnetdata\folder\file.txt">Link</a>
    <a href="file://\\itnetdata\folder\file.txt">Link</a>
    <a href="file://itnetdata/folder/file.txt">Link</a>

    etc.

    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    <a href="\\itnetdata\folder\file.txt">Link</a> should work fine. that is what I use and it works for me.

    It may work in IE, but it needs to work for IE and Firefox

    It would be <a href="http://host_computer/path_to_file/file_name.txt">Link</a>. Works for me in FF and IE.
