How to open a document remotely?

Classic Servoy
1

We used application.showURL(“file:///D:/folder/doc.pdf”); to open a document locally but the user will want to open a document which is on a server remotely. How do we do that? Please, help.

Kind Regards,
Maria

You could have a look at our UserManager plugin. That gives you access to the server’s file system from a client. You can transfer the file to the client, write it to a tmp file and open it locally.
