Boolean parameter which, if set True, allows the engine to open database
files which reside on a networked filesystem (NFS) mounted partition. Because
the filesystem is beyond the control of the local system, this is a very
risky feature that should not be enabled for the purpose of opening any
read/write database whose survival matters to you.
does it matter to you?

Hi everybody,
I just had the
problem that it is not possible to access an embedded firebird DB-file
located on a shared network drive…
I thought the
“RemoteFileOpenAbility” is exactly what I need to do this – but I get the
error:
“I/O error for file
CreateFile (open) \"here comes the path” \r\nError while trying to open
file"} System.Exception
{FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbException}”
Any idea why this
happening? I have complete access to that folder (read and write) on the
network drive…
Thank
you!
Daniel
it's not possible
- embedded needs to make an exclusive lock on the file and that can;t happen
over network drives with unknown OS's at the other side. Can;t be done - if
you want to share a db then use the full server
Alan
But what can I do with the
„RemoteFileOpenAbility” flag in
the firebird.conf file then? It seems to me that this is exactly what I need
to “override” the security issue and access the file or am I
wrong?
