Ipython notebook link to external notebook

I do not really know why, but I cannot link to files which are in a parent folder of the current working directory. I do start the notebook in the folder 04_documentation and would like to refer to a notebook in 02_calculations

The folder structure is:

• Experiment #12345
  • 01_data
  • 02_calculations
    • sma_fit.ipynb
  • 03_plots
  • 04_documentation
    • current working directory

The link looks like [Link to working example](../02_calculations/sma_fit.ipynb)

If the file is in the same folder or a subfolder, everything works fine. However, I cannot jump to a parent folder(404 error). Any ideas why that is the case ?

Ipython notebook (3 and 2.3.1) answer in github

Because of security reasons you are not allowed to do that.

You could start the notebook in / but have the default dashboard be something else. But by design navigating up --notebook-dir (default to .) and going into folders that start with . is not possible.

Hope this is what you were trying.
