How to bulk insert a file from a computer other than the sql serve

I am executing the following bulk insert command:
BULK INSERT xSat FROM 'E:\myOutput.txt' WITH (FIELDTERMINATOR = ' ')
The sql server and file:'E:\myOutput.txt' are in different computers.
The sql server generated the following error msg:
Could not bulk insert because file 'E:\myOutput.txt' could not be opened.
Operating system error code 21(The device is not ready.).
Any suggestions?
Thank you!Is E: drive letter mapped to a network path to the share that has
myOutput.txt on it? If so, and you can see the file from a process on the
box with SQL Server on then BULK INSERT should work. I suspect you're
specifying E: as the drive letter of the remote computer - that's not going
to work.
Regards.
