Error in WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.AS_To_Client if client ip path provided

Question

Hi All,
I am using forms Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production)
In my application i have to transfer the "test.tif" file stored in application server to fax client machine. I have used webutil for transfer with ip address of the fax client.
x:=WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.AS_To_Client('\\10.10.10.33\fax\test.tif' , 'd:\temp.tif');
But its giving the error
*ERROR>WUT-131 [WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.DownloadInt] Invalid client file name 10.10.10.33\fax\test.tif. Cannot create client file.*
the webutil config file have following details added
#List transfer.appsrv.read.<n> directories
transfer.appsrv.read.1=d:\temp
transfer.appsrv.read.2=c:\temp
transfer.appsrv.read.3=\\10.10.10.33\fax
#List transfer.appsrv.write.<n> directories
transfer.appsrv.write.1=c:\temp
transfer.appsrv.write.2=d:\temp
transfer.appsrv.write.3=\\10.10.10.33\fax
Can someone please provide me solution in which i can specify the ip path of client machine for file transfer.

To transfer from the App Server to another machine, you have several options:
1. Use the HOST command. This may be difficult depending on the server's platform and security configuration. If Windows, by default the process (Forms) will not have permission to access network resources (i.e. mapped/shared drives). You will need to refer to the Microsoft documentation in order to overcome these restrictions.
2. Use HOST to execute a ftp connection for transferring the file. Of course the remote machine must support ftp. If you have access to "My Oracle Support", see note 110531.1
3. Create a java class which could be imported into the form that can perform this task. Refer to the Forms Java Importer documentation for information about importing java for server side execution. Also, here is a starting place for the java information:
