Yes. The file is located in FTP(File transfer protocol).

So how can I establish a connection from script to read and write in a text file which is located in FTP?

You'll need to download the file from FTP to the local computer, then read/write the file (e.g. using the aqFile object), then upload the file back to FTP.

There are several ways to work with FTP:

Some customers use the free WinSCP tool. It has a command-line interface), a COM object, and a .NET assembly (can be called via CLR Bridge).

Windows also has the built-in ftp command-line tool. Check the example here: https://tinyapps.org/docs/ftp.html

.NET class System.Net.FtpWebRequest can be used via CLR Bridge.

COM object ChilkatFTP (free). Check the example here: http://www.robvanderwoude.com/vbstech_internet_ftp.php

Hope this helps!

I have not worked with those stuffs but i guess you can use below line to connect the network drive

net use "\\NETWORKPATH\DRIVENAME" /user:"ROUTERNAME" "PW"
But I'm not sure how it is going to help you :(
