First of all, hello.

I am developing an Intranet for my company and I have un big problem that I dont know how to solve.

In my company we have one shared folder for all people in network.

Before I starting to Work in this new intranet, old was opening this shared folders by href="fille//", but now seems that browsers not allow this kind of link for security.

So, I investigated, and I found a very nice control, "FileVista" that allow me to show this shared folders inside the intranet.

Now my boss said me that People cannot copy files from the Intranet directly to other folders or Outlook mail... obviously not is a folder, is a web...

So, now, I dont know what to do, there are any way to can copy directly files from intranet to another folder or open the link file:// href?

Thank you all

To start with, I don't accept your premise. I have a shared file on my network that I regularly open in my browser using the file:///[servername]/folder/file

With that said, I have to be authenticated, already. Key issues that you haven't answered:
1) What browser are you using?
2) Why aren't you just accessing these files as shared folders?
3) What actions do you need to take with these files?
4) How is your network configured (domains, workgroups, other?)

The other thing you're going to have to look at: if something is being blocked as a potential security issue, that generally means you haven't configured your network in a way that is properly supporting the authentication models you need.

First, when I write on browser file://, browser show me files like a ftp, but when link is in a <a href=file:/// doesnt work

1) Now, I am using Google Chrome, but I was tested with Firefox, IE an Opera and didnt work.
2) People, usually dont know much about Informatica, dont know how to access via Start/Execute and my boss wants to make it easy for all
3) People have to copy files to other folders, attach to Outlook mail...
4) My network is configured with a domain

I need to open this folders with HTML hyperlink and no writing on browser.

1)

<a href="file://///server1/rootfolder1/subfolder1/file.html">link text</a>

2) What is Informatica, and why can't you put a shortcut on the desktop?
3) Why not just put a shortcut to the folder? Why is the browser involved in this?

I know what you are saying but, I cant put a shortcut to the folder because by boss wants a href inside Intranet.

I just try to do what my boss wants, not what I want

Did you try the format of the href I posted?
