Hmmm ... if you could get a linux box in there, you could use smbmount and just treat it as a normal file.

Or you could use `mount_smbfs` from FreeBSD: `mount_smbfs //user@server/share /mountpoint` (See `/usr/share/examples/smbfs/dot.nsmbrc` for setting up passwords and such.) Or you could use samba to download the file: `smbclient //server/share -U user%pass -c 'cd "dir"; get "file"'` Or you could use Filesys::SmbClient to access it as a perl filehandle without mounting anything. (Though you'll have to install libsmbclient first.)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
