I have some binary files located in the directory tree stucture of Fileman. These files are Word Perfect and Miscrosoft products such as Microsoft Word. An error occurred when, for example, a Miscrosoft Word document was double clicked. I modified the code to include the appropriate href to the %config (the bin_url to use file://). It fixed the problem....when the file was double clicked the system launches Microsoft Word containing the contents of the Word document selected. The problem I am having is any binary file works when the files are accessed within the server domain. But, when fileman is used outside the server domain it get the following error: "Netscape is unable to find the file or directory named .....blah blah blah". Below is a snipped of code for binary files. again it works when using Fileman accessing MS Word documentment located in the same domain environment as the server but does not work if I access it from home.

%config = (
root_dir => "c:/netscape/suitespot/docs/n21/demo",
logfile => "c:/netscape/suitespot/docs/n21/fileman.log",
password_dir => "c:/netscape/suitespot/docs/fileman/fileman/pass",
root_url => "http://alexander/n21/demo",
bin_url => "file://alexander/netscape/suitespot/docs/n21/demo",

}


The Binary Files code was slightly modified to reference the %config (bin_url)....this fix works for users inside the domain only.

Please, what can I do to fix this problem? The ultimate goal is to have and files accessible to all internet users.

Very respectfully,

I really need some help and a quick resolution to this question.....lcorum
