I’m using using the web browser to display html files in Ignition.

On the server computer the URL to my file is: file:///D:/Maint.html - everything works fine.  
Doing the same on a client I get the message: This webpage is not found

I tried: [file://192.168.1.4/D:/Maint.html](file://192.168.1.4/D:/Maint.html) (192.168.1.4 is the servers ip address) but got the same error message.

Please let me know how to fix this problem.  
Thanks.

If you are going to serve files from a server to clients using a web browser then you are going to need a web server.

Luckily the Ignition Gateway is a web server. You could put your files here: C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\webserver\webapps\main

Then you can access them like this: [192.168.1.4:8088/main/Maint.html](http://192.168.1.4:8088/main/Maint.html)

Best,

That works.  
It’s so easy if you know how 🙂  
Thank you.
