+1
Plus, if you are running web2py via apache, my suggestion is something
like this:
- Configure an alias (``Alias /reports /path/to/reports``) in the
virtualhost configuration
- Configure in your app that ``reports_url = "/reports/"`` and
``reports_path = "/path/to/reports"``
- Browse files into reports_path and then link them using
``posixpath.join(reports_url, 'path/to/file')``
[posixpath uses UNIX file names, so it joins using '/'; only on Unix
platforms (a part from macosx..?) os.path == posixpath]
