If your file is on a remote server and you wish to link to it from your wiki, simply use the URL of the link as the content of your wiki link. For example, using the wiki editor you'd write:

57

58

{{code language="xml"}}[http://some_remote_server/path/to/file>text to display]{{/code}}

{{code language="xml"}}<img src="http://some_remote_server/path/to/image"/>{{/code}}
