macOS network file path for mac os

I would have thought it would just be is-s234/system/ashok/temp.txt. But I'm sure you tried that already. Or maybe it's /Volumes/is-s234/system/ashok/temp.txt.

Anyway, a quick trick is to launch a Terminal window, then navigate to the file in Finder, and drag-and-drop the file into the finder window. The full path to the file will appear in the terminal window.

I don't know Java, but you need to find a way to mount the network volume. then the file should be in /Volumes/<mounted Network volume name>/system/ashok/temp.txt.

Assuming that the remote machine is a Mac, you should be able to use AFP to mount the HD of that machine.

It doesn't matter what you want the file for. If you want to access a file that is being served via ANY network method either:

1) The OS has to provide access for you. On Mac OSX this means mounting that file system.

2) Your code has to be able to talk the protocol required and provide all it's own access. Java does not know how to talk AFS (or CIFS even) so you are looking at writing this all yourself or mounting the filesystem.

ashokformac, take some time to learn and research instead of looking for handouts from other forum members.

If you want to access files over a network, look into libraries that might help you such as JCIFS, http://jcifs.samba.org/. This assumes that server is using CIFS/SMB protocols. I'm sure there are others for other protocols.
