I need to retrieve and open a file stored on a Unix server on a network and
opens the file as a delimited text file. I'm using VS2005, .net 2.0 and C#.
What's the best way to do this and if there's any sample code online?
The user would enter something like;
\\serverName\filename
or
\\ipaddress

Hy!

I don´t think that it makes any difference where the file is. If you can see
it in your windows explorer you should be able to open it.
You can use the StreamReader class for this.
Otherwise you could check out Mono. This is a C# framework for Unix.
Hope this helps.

Thank you. I found an example using FTP and yet to try it to connect to the
unix server then I'll use the steamReader to read the file.
