No, this is an I/O message from the OS, not a connection exception.

It's not the server that opens the ini file, it's the user that runs the
application. Because it's a baaaaad idea to give ordinary users filesystem
rights to the database file or the server software, you'll need to place
the ini file locally.

If you are using Firebird 1.5 you can do much better and use aliases.
