Use Samba(CIFS) for that purpose. I'm using JCIFS for that purpose.

NtlmPasswordAuthentication credentials = new NtlmPasswordAuthentication(domain+";"+user+":"+pass);

String fileContent(String path) {
        StringBuilder builder = null;
        try {
            SmbFile smbfile = new SmbFile(path, credentials);
            builder = readFileContent(smbfile);         

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return builder.toString();
}

private StringBuilder readFileContent(SmbFile sFile){
    BufferedReader reader = null;
    try{
        reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new SmbFileInputStream(sFile)));
    }
    catch(IOException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
    String in = null;
    try{
        while((in = reader.readLine())!=null){
            builder.append(in).append("\n");
        }
        reader.close();
    }
    catch(IOException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return builder;
}
