Error opening file

Hi all there,

This time my problem is that I want to open a txt file located in a Windows server (shared folder, and open permissions).

I've tried typing in the path "\\My_server_name\file.txt" and "\\10.10.10.10\file.txt" (with real IP Address).

But I continue getting the DSD.SEQOpen Failed to open file.txt in directory //10.10.10.10/file.txt STATUS = -1 (please note the slashes....)

What can I do? Does the servers operating system counts? Do I have to ask for special permission? or smb in my UNIX server?

Actually I have to do a FTP so I can bring the file.txt to my UNIX server and I can read it, but I'd like to get rid off the FTP process.

Greetings,

There's no way around needing that drive 'mounted' in some fashion so the UNIX system can see it, as far as I know - NFS, Samba (etc) is needed to read it directly from that share. Or just FTP it.

Thanks for you reply,

I'm actually accessing it by FTP. I just wanted to know if there's something wrong.

Thanks!
