SSI: Placement of file to include

[Lady_Aleena]

Does the file that is to be included need to be in the same folder as the page that calls it? If, no, is there a special way that it needs to be written? The two ways I have tried are not working.

<!--#include file="../../valid.txt"-->
<!--#include file="http://www.xecu.net/fantasy/valid.txt"-->

I would prefer to use the first, but since it isn't working, I don't know what to do.

Hi,

try <!--#include virtual="path" -->

See here for details.

Thank you Herb. That solved my problem beautifully!
I may be back with more questions once I finish reading the page you suggested.
