hyperlinks with password

[rasit21]

I have to provide a hyperlink on a web page to a file that resides in a shared folder on someone elses PC.
If I link the file using the
a href= "\\pc1490\rap\file.xls" it works fine.

Now my problem is that owner of the folder containing the file.xls wants to provide a access password for the shared folder (rap). Is there anyway I can pass the passoword through the link ( i.e. through a href ) it self.
I'm looking for a solution like


a href="\\pc1490\rap\file.xls : password"

Please advise

Think about it. Even if you could do it which you can't, what would be the purpose of having the password.

All you want is ONE password that everyone must know before trying to access it?

If thats the case.. you could just hide the actual link until they provide the password (with any simple server side scripting)..?

Maybe im not understanding the question, sorry.
