Hey, I'm working on a small website and I'm running some webserver software. I want to to link to a file on my PC which will act as the server. What is wrong with this link? I can't seem to get it to work. I'm trying to link to a file on my "F:" drive. Is this fomatted wrong? I have my static IP address, then the local disk the file resides on, and then the file. Where am I wrong here? Any help appreciated.

It doesnt work that way. Put the file into the folder where the web site pointss to.
I'm running a small webserver app and want to host my site from the "F:" drive of my PC. My site folder is F:\Mysite\
How can I connect to the index.html file through http? I am able to do this fine through FTP, but I wanted to have a frontend for access to my files (pics I took at car shows).
Check the web server app (which one is it?) for root directory, and change it to F:/. You can then put all your files there, even if it ain't web pages ;)
Also, 999.999.999.9 is not a valid IP address ;)
I got that set, but how would I link to a specific file with a link on the webpage? I'm using Ability Webserver.
