Using C/C++ code, How to read a text file (approx size 100GB) line by line from a remote machine in LAN directly without downloading or copying the file

You would need a client application on the remote system, or remote access, to read the file and pass the data to your program.

With a typical client/server application, your TCP server runs on the remote machine, waiting for 'gimme next line' command from the client. On command reception, it reads the line and answers to the client with the read line content.

is the machine doing the reading on the same network as the machine with the file? If so, just use a UNC, something like: \\machine\folder\...\file.ext
