asp_web_howto thread: How to access files from Unix server using FileSystemObject?

Hi,
Is there a way to access files from a Unix server using the
FileSystemObject?
I know that to access a text file in a Windows server you would have
something like:
myPath = "C:\TextFiles\MyFile.txt"
set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set objTStream = objFSO.OpenTextFile(myPath, ForReading)
What would the value of myPath be if I wanted to access a file in a Unix
server? Is this even possible?
Thanks,
Ryan

You only can run ASP code inside WindowsNT, so that neves happens. If
you
are using Chilisoft ASP within UNIX, it will be a great idea to ask
them.
If you have files in a UNIX server and you want to reach them, maybe
you
need a FTP client to copy them localy and then use FileSystemObject.

There is Unix software called Samba that can allow the Unix machine to
serve files to Windows - then you could maybe set up a virtual directory
within IIS pointing to the Unix/Samba server and use the FSO.
I'm not a Unix expert but I expect whoever runs your Unix server will know
about samba.
