How to share files in different paths?

Hi,

Accronding to MQL4 rules: files can only be opened in the terminal_directory\experts\files folder or in its subfolders.

I am trying to write some EAs. And they need to share files between different terminals. for example, EA-A in FXDD\experts and EA-B in Interbank\experts. EA-A saved some files in FXDD\experts\files and EA-B (in Interbank\experts) needs to read those files, how to do that?

Thanks!

You can use the NTFS junction utility to create a folder that is visible to two different places in the file system.

Not really, you just create a new directory ( the junction ) that references the existing directory. You then have two folders in different places, with only one set of contents.

Here is a GUI tool, even more powerful.
