accessing server files

I wanted to share files. since it's not yet available through groups, i figured i could store the files i want to share on a server and then provide the link to the file on the server (since all the people I want to share the files with have access to the server).
I tried using URL of 2 types : file:///C:/zotero/AF_Note-19.pdf and C:\zotero\AF_Note-19.pdf.
However, when i access my library through the website and click on the URL, nothing happens... but if i copy and paste the url in firefox the file opens...
anyone can help me with that ? it would be greatly appreciated...
