We created a HTML-Helpfile default.htm, and stored that in the server folder
D:\Servoy\application_server\help\default.htm
There are also subfolders in that help folder that the default.htm will call.
To lauch that help file, we fire
application.showURL( "file:///" + plugins.UserManager.Server().servoyDirectory.replace(/\\/g, "/") + "/help/default.htm" );
That works fine as long as we test it ourselves on the server, but when a user calls that, who has a VPN-path like
h t t p ://de19a123.acme.auto.net:8080/servoy-client/bob.jnlp
to call our solution from anywhere in the VPN of our client (i.e. from different countries), that user certainly can not see the D:-drive, and the command above will not work.
The IT of our customer suggested to set up an IIS (Internet Information Server) to provide that help system to all users.
My question is if there is a more easy/leightweight way to make that help-file and help-folder accessible to all users in a VPN , besides an IIS?
