Read file in server's Local drive

I am developing application for monitoring attendance.
The attendance logs stored in server's local drive by a biometric machine. I want to read the logs for calculating attendance. the problem is user can be in client machine and they click Read logs button. the program need to map the server's path(file stored_path in server). can anyone help me to fix this problem.

There's no need to map the path on the user's machine. You can just use the UNC path
\\ComputerName\SharedFolder\Resource

If you don't have your network set up properly, the computer name might not work... but you could replace it with the IP address of the computer and accomplish the same thing.

eg:
\\192.168.1.199\SharedFolder\Resource
