Forum OpenACS Q&A: File Storage - Create a URL Button

Posted by Steve Manning on
This may seem like an odd question but I've been asked what the 'Create a URL' button in File Storage is for and I've no idea.

Its probably obvious when you know how so could anyone enlighten me?

Thanks

Steve

Ah - is it intended as a sort of symlink to other objects in folders to which you may not normally have access?

I think that you can add a URL pointing somewhere in the web and not only in your FS folders.

But why would you want to? How is that of use with in FS?

Why not? Maybe you could also want to give an url to download files from another site, not necessarily uploaded into your web app.
