Re: Need Pro-C code to read/write local files

is there a particular reason this had to be cross-posted to the entire gamma quadrant of the known universe ?

i may have missed something here, but this doesn't sound like a Pro*C issue... that is "reading a file from a remote machine" is not specifically an oracle or pro*c issue.

this is typically handled with utilities like ftp or nfs (unix) or lan manager
style UNC names on dos/windows (i.e. c:\> net share ... c:\> net use ...)

if you are going to "roll your own" solution, then you will need executables on both machines, on either end of the network connection.
