But Iam unable to Fix this.

Hi Rao,

this is less a MII than a browser or mapping problem.

You can access a local file in a browser like this:

window.open('file:///c:/folder/file.txt');

However, in case of MII local means local to the MII server. So in the above example the file is located on the c driver of the MII server.

If you want to access files on a network drive, the folders to the files should be mapped on the MII server so you are able to address them like they were local files.

I haven't tried to address network folders directly, because we are running MII on Unix.

Hi Michael,

I tried giving what you said but it says acsess denied.

Problem is, my customer has created Network Drive which gets files from other Machine, they are storing all files in MII machine creating new drive as G:\..

However ,I tried opening file which is located on the c driver of the MII server by giving

window.open("
ServerName\c$");

This works fine,it opens C drive.

But I need to open file located in network drive.
