Mount Unix Volume

Is there any way to mount a Unix volume with VB.net and use the file
system as if it were native to Windows? I need to write a program
that will take a file, manipulate it some, then re-post it & hopefully
not use FTP. Any insight is appreciated since I'm not very familiar
with Unix.

Are you talking about a NFS remote mount? If so, can't you mount an
nfs disk with a command line command? If so, just use the Process
class to send a command to a command prompt window.

I run samba (http://us3.samba.org/samba/) on the unix box so it looks like
a windws share works a treat
