I think you can use RPC for this.
But i am not very sure u can do this in windows.

You can use FTP.

FTP is built into Internet Explorer.


You can just copy the Unix flatfile to your Windoiws machine and off you go.

No i don't want to copy the flat file. i want to access on the client from server.

You will have to write a server app to receive the key from the client, access the file and pass results back to the client.

You can't just access a file on a server. It's not the same as a network drive.

Here is where SQL is handy if your server file is kept in a SQL table. You could just send the SELECT to the server and the server sould send back the cursor.
