| URL | Description |
|---|---|
C:\path\example.txt |
Local Windows paths can be specified. |
\\some-host\share\path\file.txt |
UNC paths can be used to specify files on network shares. This example specifies a file file.txt on the share \\some-host\share\path\. |
ftp://ftp.example.com/notepad/notepad.cpp |
Files on FTP servers can be specified. This example specifies a file notepad/notepad.cpp on the FTP server ftp.example.com. The absence of a user name and password in the URL means that Merge will use the user name and password for the server configured on the Credentials options page. For anonymous access to an FTP server, create an entry on the Credentials page with the user name anonymous and your email address as the password.
