Thank you all who even gave my post some consideration as well as those who responded. As soon as I read the replies this morning I realized that I had posted a completely erroneous situation and that my post wasn't even a description of the problem that I was trying to solve.

However, the replies did jog my thinking and a solution was soon in hand!

Again, thank you all very much for you consideration.

here is the thing
your are trying to enter a url into a file path location.
the file action is dealing directly with the file system and on windows uses the \

if you want to read a file using a url (/ separators) you will need to use @URL for separators in file action you will need to enter the actual file path like c:\inetpub\wwwroot\website\files\attachments\select.txt

In a file action, the "File" field is set to "http://192.168.2.6/ files/attachments/select.txt". When I run the taf containing the file action, WiTango returns the following message:

"-301 The specified file or directory does not exist. http:\ \192.168.2.6\files\attachments\select.txt ".

Note that WiTango has changed the separators from "/" to "\".

If i put "http://192.168.2.6/files/attachments/select.txt"; into the location field of my FF browser, the text file is displayed.

Some experimentation with the text in the location field of my FF browser, resulted in the conclusion that switching the "//" or the "/" after "...2.6" to "\" while leaving the remainder of the separators as "/", resulted in WiTango not being able to locate the file.

Any thoughts?

My apologies if this issue has been covered before, I was not able to find a post which addressed it.
