Can I link to a pdf on a local installation
-
Hi
I’m using AMPPS to host a local WordPress installation that will never be on the internet and will only have myself as the user. The purpose of the installation is to create a library resource for 100s of PDFs and videos, all for learning languages.I would like to be able to link to files on my HDD without using the media library to avoid duplication. I can open these files in Firefox and then use the address as a hyperlink in WordPress but nothing happens. No error message, no link opened.
Here is an example of the syntax used.
<a href="file:///M:/Books/Spanish.pdf">Spanish Verbs</a>
Clicking this link does nothing at all, yet it will open fine if copy and pasted in a browser. Any solution this problem? Thanks.

Hi
Yes I know how to embed a pdf. What I want to do is exactly the opposite of embedding. What I’m trying to do is link to multiple files on a hard drive which is very different.To further clarify, I will create a WordPress Page with hundreds of links to files on my HDD. I could do this by creating an html page but that would be a workaround and defeat the purpose of using a CMS.
