UNC path

The so-called UNC path (UNC = Universal Naming Convention) can be used to address any target in a networked computer environment. In a Windows environment, the UNC path always begins with two backslashes: "\\". This is followed by either the name or the IP address of the target computer. A directory must be shared on the target system (share). A share name is also assigned, under which the share is addressed. This share name is entered next. The subdirectories up to the desired target object can then follow.

Example

\servername_or_IP\share_name\folder_level01\folder_level02
