Files are associated with the machine the script is running on. Always the server in the case of CGI. Never the client. It worked when you tested it because the files are all local.
It would be a severe security issue, to my way of thinking, if a host were able to read files like that from a client. Even if it is only an internal thing. You MAY be able to initiate an ftp between the two systems, you'd have to have an ftp daemon running on the client as well as the server.
