Kristin/Eric,

I've tried linking to files in the way you describe and can't get it to work. Had slightly more success in IE than Firefox, but couldn';t get the file to open, so ultimately a failure. Guess instiki doesn't support it at this stage.

Also, can anyone advise why the clean up and delete orphan pages doesn't seem to work for me - still have the orphan pages : (

Cheers,
Richard.

Sorry if I wasn't clear.&nbsp; I don't want to have to upload every file.
I want to point to where the files are already residing on our server
via a windows path (\serverfolderfile.doc). &nbsp;Thanks.

As far as I can tell, Instiki does not currently support that. I've worked
on a similar issue with MediaWiki in the past and it can be difficult to
work with IE and Firefox as they have slightly different ways of doing
things. And in firefox, this behavior is disabled by default.

See http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=file+links+in+firefox for more
details.

Thanks,
Johannes

Why wouldn';t a simple file url work? ; I9;m pretty sure I've done that before
- but I can't find a handy example on mine.

[[\serverfolderfile.doc]] I think.

Instiki can't support it because Instiki is not preventing
you from 
opening those links.  Your web browser is.  It's a general
security 
issue that many web browsers have addressed by disabling
opening local 
links by default.  As Johannes said:
