I uploaded a database file to Public_html of a virtual server using Unix and a dedicated ip address. I can reach it by browser in typing the address as xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Directoryname/databasename.dat . I am asked what I want to do, download or open.

When I try to reach the file via a program which uses the file, but is not made for using files on a server, but on a local computer, a internal network or a VPN like Hamachi, the program doesn't find the file by typing in the address as shown below:
\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\Directoryname\databasename.dat or \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\public_html\Directoryname\databasename.dat or
//xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Directoryname/databasename.dat or
//xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/public_html/Directoryname/databasename.dat

Any help is appreciated.
