I asked this before, and I am told that this is impossible. It this true?
All I want is to open a network folder when I click a button. To open 'File Explorer' to that network path on the PC. Or on the browser. I prefixed file:///
to the path so that it may open in a browser.
//jQuery for button 1.
$(document).on("click",".Button1",function (){
var log1 = "file:/"+this.value;
// this.value has path like this: ///PCname/Foldername/subfolder
window.location.href = log1
});
Am I asking the impossible? I can't copy my files to document root. I have 10s of thousands of files. This is why I want to open a folder on my Windows PC to that path. My path to files changes depending on what the user has selected, and my files are 50MB or less.
Is there a way I could open a network folder in the browser like this (not local drive, network path), OR a way to open a folder on the PC to that network path when I click a button?
My backend is Django+Python.
JavaScript in the context you mention, can't do that. In this context JS is a client side programming language that runs in the browser.
What you have in mind needs to run on the server-side and then transmitted to the browser.
Here are the general steps you should take:
This is the most basic setup. You can improve that with server-side technologies like Python or NodeJS.
