Right, the idea is to copy one of those drawings to a local folder where it is accessible to ignitions gateway, at which point we can use some of ignitions functions to download the file to the clients computer.
Ok, I'll give it another shot! So use the wrapper right and restart the service, then when I go to invoke the drive in script just use M:\0\current\somefile.gp4? I swear I've already done this, but I'll try again and let you guys know how it goes. Lastly, is what I have correct?

I will try this as well, although when I was doing that on my laptop I would get an error from the subprocess module that said something to the affect of "There's already one connection to the server, you can not have any more than one", which lead me to unmapping the drive on my computer for it to work.
Sorry I've been hard to work with, to everyone on this post, I appreciate the help and will do my best to browse the forums and help others where I can. I'm glad this community is helpful and kind.
