I have a 'site' that is just files on my hard drive.
I need to click an anchor link such as:
<a href="file:///dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4">Store Your Files Here</a>
and have Firefox open the folder dir4 with the systems file manager.
( In my case the file manager is Nautilus ) ( Ubuntu 20.04 )
I have seen this:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_do_not_work
but it does not describe a scenario that uses the file:/// interface.
It also does not provide any information about how the files will be handled.
I can get the folder link to work currently , but it appears with the:
'Index of file///...' in a browser tab.
Obviously you can not use that for anything useful.
The main goal is to open the folder and be able to use the system file manager
to include more content for the site without having to navigate to the folder manually.
The folders I want to display are buried many levels down without the possibility of
having descriptive names. I have ~121 pages/folders in this arrangement , and each one has
content for each page. I would like to add a button on each of the 121 pages that will
open each of the pages content folder.
