Maybe the question is a little misleading, so here goes.
Without installing IIS or any other web server, is it possible to "host" images on a Windows 7 PC? Assuming my laptop in the network is called FinanceLaptop
, it would basically be to "convert" that image on a remote folder in my laptop (ie. \\FinanceLaptop\Image1.jpg
) to http://FinanceLaptop/Image1.jpg? This would only apply to our network.
The issue would be to keep the image in FinanceLaptop
, not copy the image to another server and then get a URL pointing to this other server.
This would only apply to machines within our network.
The reason for this is that a PC in this network has wordpress installed. In our WP installation we can upload images, so if the image location is \\FinanceLaptop\Image1.jpg
then we just see the link in the post. If we post http://FinanceLaptop/Image1.jpg
we see a preview of the post.
So, let's say that I (FinanceLaptop) upload an image that doesn't follow the company's ethics code. I'm responsible for the image because it's in my machine.
Thanks.
