Title: Local "webpage" on a closed network
Post by: Petrus Vorster on February 10, 2015, 01:28:48 PM
I am completely clueless on writing anything like a website with code. (I cant use a designer tool here)

I wrote a tool for some colleagues but like with anything their needs keep on changing and i have to send them updates.
The company closed all file transfers with tools like netmeeting and shared drives, but they still allow file sharing. (EXCEPT EXE!)
I was thinking of trying to modify this tool to run from my work PC (No server activity will be allowed) but be accessible to the handful of users like a website of sorts.
Our intranet works like that with a link like "\\10.36.40.01\Intranet\index.html" which i think will work wonders for my problem.

But before i start messing about and going down all alleys unnecessary, can we use Firefly in such a creation of a simple browser-based tool? I read about it on the Powerbasic site, but I love the FF way of doing and it would be great if one can assemble it in FF and somehow "port" it to a browser-based app.

Any thoughts?

It's been a while since you've asked and this is probably no longer current, but anyhow ...

I'm not quite sure what your application is supposed to do: a) produce the HTML file (\\10.36.40.01\Intranet\index.html) or b) act as a "web browser" for browsing that file?

Hi
Never-mind. I have been reading a bit and for what i need .Net would be easier, but since the company will not permit what i want to do, i will not go down that route.
