Open network path in browser in Angular

Question

I am unable to open network path from browser using below code. Browser throws error saying unable to load local resources. Please advise.

    public openUrl() {
    window.open(`file:///server/folder1/filelist`);
  }



<a title="{{summaryValues.TraceLogPath}}"
                                href="javascript:void(0)"  rel="noopener noreferrer"
                                (click)="openUrl()">{{BenchmarkTraceLog}}</a>

I am trying to open shared path that shows list of files. BenchmarkTraceLog contains network path. — Shreyas Murali, May 13 '20 at 06:50

Chrome doesn't let us access the local resource. 1. Disabling file security is the option to access data from shared path. 2. Usage of API will do the needful.
