To link to a UNC path from an HTML document  use file        yes  that s five slashes       file      server path to file txt   Note that this is most useful in IE and Outlook Word  It won t work in Chrome or Firefox  intentionally - the link will fail silently  Some words from the Mozilla team      For security purposes  Mozilla   applications block links to local   files  and directories  from remote   files    And less directly  from Google      Firefox and Chrome doesn t open  file     links from pages that originated from outside the local machine   This is a design decision made by those browsers to improve security    The Mozilla article includes a set of client settings you can use to override this behavior in Firefox  and there are extensions for both browsers to override this restriction
