I'm porting on Android an old app originally developed for Windows tablet. I use FMX on C++Builder 10.2. My problem is how to port the row: FileOpen("\\IP_address\FolderName\Filename"); I have to run app on Samsung device NOT rooted. Which is the better approach? Thanks in advance

No exceptions, no errors. Simply it returns INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE.

Ok, I already made some tests. In my device I installed different file manager (Solid Explorer, RS File Manager) and all of them are able to connect the remote IP and browse folders and sub-folders. That's right...but...how can I do the same programmatically with FMX? Obviously I already tried: FileOpen("//IP_address/FolderName/Filename"); FileOpen("IP_address/FolderName/Filename"); FileOpen("smb://IP_address/FolderName/Filename"); I'm not a Linux expert but probably I should "mount" the remote connection on local filesystem; how can I do it?

Thanks David, I state it is an intranet application. The goal of the (old) app is to open a text file and modifiy some vales in a row. That file is present in a Samba shared folder on a customer Windows machine so "IP_address" is the IP of that machine and " FolderName " is the share name. From that machine I also have to copy some image files to a local folder of Android device and viceversa.
