FP will publish only files *within* your web, ie if you create a
thunderracing web on your machine, the files you link to must be imported
from the my documents folder into the \thunderracing web ... their location
inside the web is your choice (ie to a documents folder there). When this
is done, one linking the file to a text or image hyperlink, FP will create
the proper URL to the file, relative to your current page.
If, instead of importing the file, you instead point a hyperlink to a file
on your hard drive outside of the web, FP must use an absolute URL to the
file which means the link opens the file specified on the machine. When you
view the published web site on the development computer, the URL to the disk
file is valid and it opens as expected. However, when accessing the web from
another machine, the URL is trying to open the document on that computer's
hard drive, which of course does not exist.
