copied!<p>The simplest way to do this would be to read it using regular file paths.</p> <p>On Windows:</p> <pre><code>new File("\\\\server\\path\\to\\file.txt") // (double-backslashes required for backslashes in path) </code></pre> <p>On Unix:</p> <p>First mount the share using Samba (SMB, NFS or whatever other protocol) to some location like /mnt/network. Then you can use:</p> <pre><code>new File("/mnt/network/path/to/file.txt") </code></pre> <p>Once you have the File object you can use FileInputStream, FileReader or whatever else you want to read the file in.</p> <p><em>Edit</em> for comments response. If you are using an Applet, you probably want to pull the file from a web server. You can use the built in java.net.URL class but I would recommend this if you have to do more than just simple stuff: <a href="http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/index.html" rel="noreferrer">http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/index.html</a></p> <p>Example (from the Commons HTTP Site):</p> <pre><code> // Create an instance of HttpClient. HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); // Create a method instance. GetMethod method = new GetMethod(url); try { // Execute the method. int statusCode = client.executeMethod(method); if (statusCode != HttpStatus.SC_OK) { System.err.println("Method failed: " + method.getStatusLine()); } // Read the response body. byte[] responseBody = method.getResponseBody(); // Deal with the response. // Use caution: ensure correct character encoding and is not binary data System.out.println(new String(responseBody)); } catch (HttpException e) { System.err.println("Fatal protocol violation: " + e.getMessage()); e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { System.err.println("Fatal transport error: " + e.getMessage()); e.printStackTrace(); } finally { // Release the connection. method.releaseConnection(); } } } </code></pre>
