Opening files on a server

[mrlem313]

Is it possible to open a file using C++ that resides on a server?

e.g.

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int sum = 0;
int x;
ifstream inFile;

inFile.open("ht tp:\\123.321.12 3.321\Files\tes t.txt");

...

Not that quickly or easily, I'm afraid. You will need two programs - a client and a server. The client will sit on the machine the file resides on, and will open a connection to the server machine. This is done through socket programming, and is what you want to research.
