title: Access files on clients local network but not local machine from web server
body: <p>I have a server that I am uploading files to every 30 minutes. That server is running a shiny server which displays that data. </p>
  
  <p>The server is here</p>

  <p>Those files are uploaded from machines on the local network to the remote server that is running the shiny app. Is there anyway to allow the remote server to have access to those files on the users local network so it could be real time instead of 30 minute batches? The users are using chrome and are behind a fire wall and proxy server.</p>
