You should better describe your needs because as is the answer is very simple:

 

copy \\share\filepath localfilepath.

 

Copy is the command line interpreter command. You can implement it in Delphi using Windows CopyFile API (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-copyfile). Or using standard Defli file I/O (preferably using TFileStream).

I told you to better describe your needs.

Copy or CopyFile is Windows and it works whatever the physical network is between the two computers provided windows networking is running.

TCP is a low level protocol that Windows Network use to implement his communication protocol (Which by the way is also implemented in Linux using SAMBA).

FTP is a higher level protocol, making use of TCP to exchange files between two sites.

IP address is the way to identify a computer inside a TCP/IP network.

And there are many many more things that we cannot mention here (It would become a huge article).

 

That's why you need to describe your needs.

No.  Using a share path only works on the local LAN network, and only if the file is exposed by the server to the LAN via a UNC share to begin with.  If you want to copy a file over the Internet, you need to setup a suitable TCP server for that, such as an HTTP or FTP server.
