If that's impossible, you won't be able to offer links using the "file:" pseudo-protocol. If the service account used by the CF server has rights to read those documents, you can use CFCONTENT to fetch those files and serve them to the user. <!-- example page with link to file ---> <a href="getfile.cfm?id=#fileid#">#filename#</a> <!--- getfile.cfm ---> <cfquery name="qGetFile" ...> SELECT Filename, MIMEType FROM File WHERE FileID = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#URL.fileid#"> </cfquery> <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="inline; filename=#qGetFile.FileName#"> <cfcontent file="#qGetFile.FileName#" type="#qGetFile.MIMEType#"> In the above example, the presumption is that you're storing information about those files within your database.
