Answer: How to I open a file on a network drive
contributed by fundflow On Unix you need to mount the drive (e.g. via NFS)
and put it on the directory tree. Then you'll have
something like: /mnt/mountpath/file
On DOS/Windows, you can try: \\machine\drive\file
and if your environment is set up fine it will work.
Cheers | Answer: How to I open a file on a network drive
contributed by jreades You don't say anything about what *kind* of network drive? Or even what kind of network?
In an ideal world you can mount shared directories and use them as you would a local fs...
It sounds like you probably can't do this so you might need to switch to treating the network as such and opening a connection to the remote fs.
Anyway, more information will help I'm sure. |
