webparser and accessing unc file

Post by lawty »

Hiya
It could be because its been a long week - however I cannot seem to access a file on a server using the webparser plugin

for example:
file://SERVERNAME/SHARENAME/FILE.TXT

I have successfully used http:// to access web feeds, Ive successfully used file://with files stored locally on my machine. But for love nor money - I cannot see wood for trees on what I am doing wrong accessing a file using the unc as above.

I have tested the url in the browser and on the start run - I can definately access the file - but not using webparser.

Can anyone help?

Grateful as always
anna
