Floh,

If there isn't already a mechanism in place to work between the two
filesystems (Samba, netapp, even FTP), then it isn't going to work.
You need to get this resolved before you even start with PHP. If,
however, you are able to navigate to that directory from your BSD
machine in the command prompt, for example, you're set. In that case,
you need to use the same \'s as windows uses, except you have to
escape them:

\\\\intranet\\logons$\\wsa01.txt
