Title: Linking to other ibays
Post by: Lars Thorelius on August 29, 2000, 03:15:41 PM

Sure - this is a URL for the top of an ibay called info:

http://www.{domainname}/info

Thank you for your reply.

However, I mean a local reference, not via a www. address.

http://www/info will work on the local LAN. www is an alias for
the server.

...I think Mr Thorelius means a link in "file mode" .

That shouldn't be any problem creating a symbolic link like:

"ln -s "

For example, if you need to access /etc/smb.conf from an ibay named "tech", you just make a ln -s /etc/smb.conf /home/e-smith/files/ibays/tech/files/link_to_smb.conf

When you browse your ibay "tech", you should be able to read the contents of link_to_smb.conf (Don't give your users writing access though...)
