I have to put a local server location's link on a wordpress blog page.

The location is of the nature //192.168.20.68/localfolder/

I've tried putting file:///localhost/192.168.20.68/localfolder

<a href="file://192.168.20.68/localfolder" target="_blank">Local Folder</a>

<a href="file://192.168.20.68/localfolder" onclick="window.open(this.href); return false;" onkeypress="window.open(this.href); return false;">This link will open in new window/tab</a>

It opens a new tab, but doesn't open any link. Its just blank. Can someone kindly help?

When you manually go to the location in a browser, what does the address bar say? – Joseph Sible-Reinstate Monica Feb 27 '17 at 20:13
If I manually enter the location 'file://192.168.20.68/localfolder/' in the browser, it open the list of files on the server. – Satish Dabhade Feb 27 '17 at 20:39
