You shouldn't. Not with a Web application...

There's some info on how you can do that, although I wouldn't recommend this as a way to link files. The document contains a bunch of info on how to Internet Enable your Fat client applications:

This document is fairly old but most of the content is still very relative today. Skip over the RDS stuff... if you are interested in like technology look into the distributed applications with XML articles at the same Articles link.
