Does anyone have experience of accessing files on a windows network file share?

[AdrianH]

The file writer snap is not cooperating, it’s says it’s succeeding but doesn’t appear to do anything.

Currently have an account mapped with read/write permissions, using fille:/// anything else generates an error or creates a file with a weird name on the plex.

any help much appreciated.

Yours,

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

Are you using file:/// to access the share, or smb:///?

Cheers

Nearly….

Trying for some reason to use file:///<file:///\> to access the network share z://, converting to SMB now.

Yours,

Adrian

@AdrianH, We interface with a file share on many of our pipelines using thing following environment and parameters:

• Groundplex Nodes running on Windows Server on AD Network
• Groundplex Nodes running as a Windows Service with specified logon credentials (not as System or Local Network)
• Above mentioned logon credentials have R/W access to both the network share and target file path
• The Snap’s file name value requires four "/"s in the protocol spec: “file:////{server}/{share}/{path}/{path}/{filename}”

The above works for us, so we have not tried actually mapping the file share to a drive letter.

We are facing a similar issue where a network drive is not accessible on windows machine. Tried with above given suggestions but it doesn’t seem to work for us
“file:////{server}/{share}/{path}/{path}/{filename}”

Anybody else facing the issue or have resolved it recently?
