ref pdf files w/ FMP server on OSX server?

[Our Town]

Hi, I did a search and came up empty. I have a file I am updating the reference links (well attempting to) so it displays a pdf. I can get this to work locally. But the server it is on is on my desktop. I have this FMP db hosted with FMP7 server currently. I have messed with the paths and I cannot get anyone else to see the pdf's? I copied the exact path, so I thought as they would log into it? No luck. Here is my path. The pdf's are located in samples. It is on the server that is running filemaker server... Ughhh!

filewin://192.168.0.202/Library/WebServer.server-applesaved/Documents/samples/

Thanks for any help.

I am still at a loss on this. Does anyone have any idea how one could accomplish this? Thanks

Michael:

You'd want to store your referenced files on another server, not the one running FMS. There are two reasons for this. First, the relative file path will be the same for all users, so their copy of FMP will actually find the files. Second, you should never be allowing OS-level file-sharing on a FMServer machine. It's the biggest no-no of all regarding FMServer, as it means that you're leaving the door open for someone to attempt to open the FMP files directly, rather than via the server. This activity is the most common cause of file corruption in a shared environment.
