Good very hello! I have successfully setup a fileserver which is a BIGGG event for me as I am not very good at computers. I even have a template that I installed and love it. My question is, how do I create a link in the template page to point to another html file I have placed in the install folder of HFS? What would be the link syntax that I would need to do that? It is just a flash pic gallery that I made from program that created the html page and .swf file named "flashpicsself.html" and the other is the same name but only .swf extension.

Is this not possible to be able to make a hyper-link in the template to another html page created and put into the HFS folder?

In a template you can insert html code like in any html document.
To link to a file in your root directory, use <a href="/yourdocument.htm" ..............
your computer has no brain - use your own !

consider that having it in the install folder won't make it "published".
anything that is meant to be seen over the net, like your html (and any other file used by it), should be published.
in other words, it must its place inside the virtual file system.
once you placed it, then you can link it, and the link will be referred to its position in the virtual file system, doesn't matter if it's in the install folder or not.

When I place the HTML file and its associated folder in the "Virtual File System", it shows as a download with my other files.I only just want to make a link to it in the HFS HTML template to open then as a new page. I tried to make the <a href .... link as suggested, pointing to it, but that did not work. Searching the forum here, I cannot find any post explaining how to add new html code to a template to point to another html file referencing it. I included a screenshot to show what I did as an attachment to this post dragging the htm page and its folder to virtual file system.  :(

sorry for the late reply

When I place the HTML file and its associated folder in the "Virtual File System", it shows as a download with my other files.

to have it not listed, right click on the file, and "hide".

did not work is very little to understand and help.
maybe your html code is wrong. Post it so we can see.
