I have some documents pdfs UNC in a resource-type \server\folder$, to  
whom it would log in to download from the application in Rails. The  
server is different from where the application is housed. Is it possible  
to gain access to these documents from Rails?

Or, only is possible to access to documents inside the program  
folder?.

Thanks in advance
