That depends on the type of file server you're using. AFP? FTP? SFTP? HTTP?
NFS? rsync? TFTP?

That also depends on the type of file server you're using. If it's FTP or HTTP,
then use NSURLConnection or NSURLDownload. If it's AFP or NFS, then once the
server is mounted locally, the path is /Volumes/{server name as it appears in
the Finder}/. If it's anything else, then check out libcurl.
