| What is a UNC Style Path?
|
| UNC Style Path (Universal Naming Convention) is a direct path taken through the network to find a shared folder.
|
|
|
| This is more reliable than a mapped network drive for the reason that as long as the network is functional the UNC path will be operational.
|
|
|
| Mapped network drives can be unreliable as they often disappear if the network becomes non functional and they will usually not establish themselves when the network is again operational.
|
|
|
| UNC Style Paths generally take the form of;
|
|
|
| \\Server\RMSWIN
|
| Where the Server is the name of the main computer, and
|
| RMSWIN is the name of the shared folder.
|
|
|
| OR
|
|
|
| \\Server\C\RMSWIN
|
| Where the Server is the name of the main computer,
|
| C is the name of the shared folder, and
|
| RMSWIN is the name of the folder within the shared folder.
