Accessing images from network drive

is it possible to access image from network drive and show it in a html page.I'm not sure if its possible to go beyond the web application directory in which the html开发者_高级运维 page resides

Thanks Ravi

It's going to depend on the web server and the OS. For Apache on Linux, you might be able to create a symlink to the network share. For Windows and IIS, you'll probably have to set up the network share as a web site.

Either way, I don't think it's a good idea. You have to consider fault tolerance; what if the network share is unavailable?
