why you? go to your basis people and ask them to create a NFS mount / shared directory.

in every sap landscape consisting of more than one machine you need some directories which are shared for all the instances. for example /usr/sap/trans (in unix-notation). your basis people can create them or tell you the name of the ones that alredy exist. don't let yourself down to do this in abap, that is not professional. imagine your company buying another 6 machines - do you want to adapt that abap all the times? go to them basis people.

You can read / write on any system which is in the same network as your Application Server.

just give the network path ..
...\dir\dir\file.txt
