Have you mounted the other file systems (map network drive)? That should be all you require. Just don't expect the same performance that you would get from files on local disk.

The answer is technically no, but as noted you could mount a remote drive to your file system so that they appear to be local to your DataStage server. Unless the use of FTP counts as 'extract the files', that is.

It's at the operating system level. Type "windows map network drive" and "windows unc path" into Google.

First it would need to be made accessible to you, as noted, and that means involving a SysAdmin. This more than likely is not something you can manage by yourself, permissions-wise. Especially considering you have no idea what we are talking about. :?
