Link to a file share through an anchor tag

Question

How do I format an HTML anchor tag to link to a shared network folder?

I tried the following and it does not like it.

Answer 1

I think it should formatted like this:

file:///TheComputerNameOrIpAddress/FolderName/myFile.docx

I'm not 100% sure that will work, but it's worth a shot. Good luck.
