Hi,I think the type of server is AFP. Because the file path displayed by Finder is: afp://Priyanka Mac.afpovertcp.tcp.local/shared/file1.txt.But if i put the same file path in my file2.txt my program fails to open file1.txt file.

In my application I have to read a text file (say file1.txt) from a user defined location/path. User defines this filepath in another text file (say file2.txt). My program first reads file2.txt and gets the path of file1.txt from there. file2.txt always exists on my machine but file1.txt can be anywhere on network. My question is if user wants to define some network file path then:How to define a network file path? (I tried keeping file1.txt over a network and define its path as given in "Get Info" panel in
file2.txt)That depends on the type of file server you're using. AFP? FTP? SFTP? HTTP? NFS? rsync? TFTP?> How to read a file over a network? (I am reading file using C functions fopen, fscanf, fgets. Do i need to use any function from cocoa?)That also depends on the type of file server you're using. If it's FTP or HTTP, then use NSURLConnection or NSURLDownload. If it's AFP or NFS, then once the server is mounted locally, the path is /Volumes/{server name as it appears in the Finder}/. If it's anything else, then check out libcurl.Nick ZitzmannGet Yourself a cool, short @in.com Email ID now!
