Starting a VPN simply makes it possible for IP packets to get to the
specified machine. You still need to match some protocol that the
particular remote machine can handle. SSH is probably the most common,
but there are lots of other possibilities, some standard and some
custom. So the question is what does the remote machine (server)
support for file access?
glob will work if the server supports mounting the remote partition as a
file system. But there are no guarantees that that's possible. You
haven't even said what the two operating systems involved are, though I
can guess that the local machine is some version of Windows.
The local machine is running Windows 7. I'm not sure what the other machine
is running on, but I assume it can handle ssh. If it helps, I usually
connect to it manually via an https web link, and then after entering my
user name and password in a Firepass session manager it runs an active-x
cache cleaner program and will then let me navigate to server B which is
behind the firewall.
