Hi!
I have a Shiny App running on a local server and a local fileserver from/to which the app modifies files.
I would like for clients connecting from the same network to open this files on their computer (client side) through the Shiny App. My current option opens the file on the server. Within server:
observeEvent(input$openRadioButton,{
shell.exec("fileToOpenOnClientComputer.xlsx"))
})
Would it be possible to open the file on the client side? As R is not installed in the clients, can we tell Shiny to run a cmd command to open the file?
I know this questions reflects lack of client-server architecure understanding so any good reference will be much appreciated!
Thanks.
