In theory yes! But, as others said, you'll need a lot of things to setup in the first place. First, you'll have to explain the terms you use. 'share drive' and 'server' for example are not really the right terms. You said it is z/OS, Ok, I have a lot of questions... What will you then use to drive a web server? HTTP server? CICS? DB2? etc.? As Allan said, what about NFS? How will you setup your OMVS? What will you use for TCP/IP? Security? RACF? Firewalls? Oh, what will you use to see a 'drive'? Do you want see a device? On z/OS, the general users don't see 'drives', but on OMVS, yes, but then with mountable paths+folders depending on setup. Or do you want to open files? Others suggested about using files via various ways... And lastly... what language or utility will you use to serve up those pages and accept the 'clicks'? Finally, what will you to limit the availability of those pages containing those links? About 'server'. This is way too ambiguous. You'll have to decide on what database you want to work on and then with right security setup the 'surfer' can perhaps click on something as long the application can handle the request. Lots of work, yes...
