I am trying to make a media library through a site on my local computer, so I want the link on my page when clicked on to just open the finder and point to that file without opening it, is there any way to do this? I am an OS X user, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try using ftp instead of http. For example:

  <a href="ftp://www.domain.com/subdir/doc1.html">doc1.html</a>

HTH,

Hey Randy thanks for the reply, I can't really do that, because all of the files are on my computer, so it would go as follows:

<a href="../../Library/establishing/Day_ext/001_01.mov">001_01</a>

So I am not using http in the first place. Any other alternatives?

Thanks

J
