Does anyone know of a way to access Unix files for read/write from within a VB or VBA application such that I do not have to first FTP the file. Ideally I would like to establish a session of some sort and then just use the normal file open / read / write / close commands and then close the session.

Accessing Unix Files Via VB or VBA

The easiest way would be to run SAMBA on your unix machine, then yopu could jost mount the unix directory as an NT share. It will appear as a drive letter and directory to your PC. Then you can just open/read/write/close the file as if it was a local file on your PC.
