	I built a tool that uses PHP and MySQL to cataloque a vast networked harddrive. the purpose being that it allows everyone in the office to quickly search this drive (as of last indexing). Anyway my issue is that I can create a direct link for PC owners (using crappy old IE) to the common mapped drive I just have an href to "y\directory\filename.jpg". Is there any way to also do this for OSX users? They are not set up with a common mapped drive, they have to access the drive via "Connect to Server" and type in an IP. Can I do an smb://192.xxx.xxx.xxx/filename.jpg? Moleculator
