In dis
tributed analysis mode, you will not have access to data files on your local
computer unless you specify the drive as a shared device or the folders containing
your data files as shared folders. If the server is running a different operating system
(for e
xample, if you are running Windows and the server is running UNIX), you
probably won’t have access to local data files in distributed analysis mode even

Dist
ributed analysis mode is not the same as accessing data files that reside on
another computer on your network. You can access data files on other network
devices in local analysis mode or in distributed analysis mode. In local mode, you
acce
ss other devices from your local computer. In distributed mode, you access other
network devices from the remote server.
