Hi,

Is there any way that I access files that are on another server?

thanks,

Your question lacks specifics, so I'll assume you want to access files from within Jade code that reside on another server. The simplest way of doing this is to have a drive mapping to the other server, or use the UNC path. This requires you to have file sharing and permissions set up appropriately. In code you could do something like this:

vars
file: File;begin

create file transient;
file.fileName := "\\someserver\sharename\foldername\filename.txt";
file.mode := file.Mode_Input;
//read from file here

epilog
delete file;
end;

If you meant something else, let us know.
