如何使用JavaScript从共享文件夹访问pdf文件

Question

I have one folder " PDFStore " shared with EVERYONE in my machine.

The code base is present in another remote machine.

I want to access the PDF file present within the folder PDFStore through Javascript from the remote machine.

so that i can open the PDF file in a new tab using Window.open() to fulfill my requirement.

When giving the path as the network path of the file, it is showing the error "Access denied" .

Please suggest how can i access the file?

Answer 1

I think, you can do this by providing the ip address of your local machine.

You may try with the following path

"your_ip/the_alias_name_of_the_application/the_mapping_shared_folder"

The alias name would do the trick if hosted in IIS server.
