WebDriver can not connect to a linux machine from windows machine. If you are using Java, It can do using jsch lib. Check this.

I do not understand Why you have the json file in linux machine! But If you want to read the JSON file somehow from windows - there are some workaorunds

  • Using this jsch lib
  • If possible you can move the json file to a common ftp location from linux machine which could be more easier for you to read the file from windows using Java.
  • You can run tomcat server in linux machine - move the file to the server. So by making a simple http get request, you can get the JSON file from any machine.
