The database path must use server-side local drive/path references, not shared
folder paths.
So, if workstation path "Z:\mysharedfolder\" is actually
"D:\FirebirdDatabase\mysharedfolder" on the server, then the database
connection from the workstation must be
"{ServerName}:D:\FirebirdDatabase\mysharedfolder\mydb.fdb"
If you don't want the workstations to know the physical path on the server of
the database, then you should be the DB Alias feature of the alias.conf file
and define "MYDB = D:\FirebirdDatabase\mysharedfolder\mydb.fdb" in which case
the workstation connection would be "{ServerName}:mydb"
