How to opendir on a remote host

[Guest_imported]

I have a need to be able to open and read all the files in a directory on a remote host. I understand how to use 'opendir' and 'readdir' to get all the files in a directory. My problem is I don't know how the syntax to read a directory on a remote host. Any help would be much appreciated.

What do you mean by 'remote host'?

There must be some mechanism to 'talk' to that remote machine. NFS, HTTP, FTP, ...??? If you are new to Tek-Tips, please use descriptive titles, check the FAQs,
and beware the evil typo.
