thedesolatesoul Expert Licensed User Longtime User Mar 17, 2012 #6 What protocol does the remote server operate on? If it is FTP or HTTP then you are better off downloading the file first, then kicking off the intent. If it is SAMBA then it will be harder, as we do not yet have a SAMBA library. Upvote 0
