Thread:Project:Support desk/How to attach files?

Hi There

I am completely new to MediaWIki so please excuse the stupid question. I have searched through the Editor help and could not find the answer.

Can an article have a direct link to documents stored on a network file server.

eg: If I wrote and article that refernces a word document, I want a link to the actual word document on the network fileserver, is this possible or must all such documents be stores in the WIki Database?

If this is possible where can I find the reference on how to do this, as I could not find it under links etc section.

Thanks
