Thanks for the help. I am able to get the above working for local files, but I cannot get it working for remote files.
I understand that I need the proper permissions to get the files working, but I have opened up the remote file share to be fully controlled by everyone.
my syntax is something like:
var test = new FileReader("//192.168.10.120/Shares/test.txt");
I am getting an error: Permission denied on file '/172.16.167.33/ConfigShares/testes.txt' , read not allowed
Flipping the slashes gives me File Not Found.
I have tried to open the shares on other (Windows) computers and all open up the path just fine without credentials.... any idea what the issue might be?
