Does the `C:\SCADA\web\3d` exist **on the gateway** , and does whatever account is running the Ignition gateway (by default, the `LOCAL_SYSTEM` service user) have access to that folder?  
What do the contents of the folder look like?

The path you would use in the web browser would be `/system/webdev/FR_SCADA/dt/some/remaining/path` to whatever files in the folder, also. There's no automatic serving of an `index.html` or similar if you use a bare path.

Hello,

The folder existed on the path . I only found LOCAL\_SYSTEM users on my computer and I granted full access to the SCADA folder
