[SOLVED] QUrl "file:" scheme trouble

[Sht1rlitz]

@QUrl urlpath("file://192.168.0.1/somedir/somedoc.txt");
qDebug()<<urlpath.errorString();@ tell "Invalid URL".
I'm trying to get some file from network via the QNetworkAccessManager. Can anybody show me mistake, please?
Thnx for any help!

URLs contain the protocol used to access some resource on the network, not what you want to access.

So "file://" does not state that you want to download a file but that you are accessing a resource in your local filesystem. file urls can not contain a host. Try "file:///somedir/somedoc.txt" instead (note the three slashes).

Since file urls can never point to remote locations it makes little sense to involve the networkaccessmanager to get them.

Hmm... Strange. I thought it's ok. From WIKI:

bq. To access a file "the file.txt", the following might be used.
For a network location:
file://hostname/path/to/the file.txtbq.

Thank you anyway!

P.S.: is there a simple way to get file from shared folder?

[tobias.hunger]

Mount the shared folder and then you can access files there like any other local file.

Thanks a lot! I'll try it.
