[Firebird-odbc-devel] Connect From Windows to Firebird on Mac

[Ferry N. <fe...@gm...>]

Hi there,

Can you please tell me if it is possible to use Firebird's ODBC Driver 
for connecting from Windows remotely to Firebird instance on Mac, and if 
so what would the settings be ?

I intend to create some data extracts that run on a Windows machine 
where the ODBC Driver is installed (Windows Server 2012 R2 64 bit) to 
consolidate data from a few Firebird 2.1 databases on a few Mac 
machines.

I've tried connection string in the following format without success 
(error message: Open database '<connection string>' failed).
I've tried with and without the port number.

<IP Address>/3050:/Users/<Actual File Path>/<Database File>.fdb

I've tested the same connection string as above from a FlameRobin 
application on the same Windows server and it is able to remote connect 
successfully to the Firebird on Mac, browse tables, etc.


Thanks,
Ferry
