You just need to open the file from the client app the same way you would any other hosted file, as a REMOTE file. FMP/A and server get along fine all the time. It's a common practice to put FMP robots on the same machine as the server that is hosting the files.

Stephen is absolutely right, though, in that you cannot open them LOCALLY at the same time with the two apps.
