Thanks Wolf :) Yup, I had considered that, although there could be up to 8 different servers so that's 8 seperately mapped drives. If that's the simplest/neatest way, I'll do that, although I did wonder whether there was some other clever another way around it. -----Original Message----- From: Wolf [mailto:lonewolf@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 05 December 2008 17:29 To: Mayer, Jonathan; php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Downloading file from local network machine <!-- SNIP --> > I would like to present users to our internal intranet with a link to > download a file from a folder on a different machine on our local > network (such as \\computername\folder\file) <!-- SNIP --> Map the drive to the server so that it is accessible as /folder/file on the website. Voila, no more problem. HTH, Wolf
