SMB path with a + sign not able to write to location

I am attempting to write to an SMB path that includes a plus symbol and no matter how I attempt to alter the path it fails to write the file.

‘smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxxx/dir1/dir_2/dir_3/dir_4/A+A/dir_5/filename.csv’

I have attempted to put %2B instead of the + symbol, a parameter that is only +, a parameter that was A+A, using double quotes around the entire path with ‘%2B’ instead of +, using double quotes around the entire path with ‘+’ instead of just +, using \+, using \%2B, and a bunch of other variations.

What is the correct syntax and why is this not in the documentation anywhere?

Which Snap are you using and is the expression toggle (the = sign) selected or not? We’d want to make sure it’s not a bug in the Snap.

File Writer Snap, is there another one to use? Yes the expression toggle is selected.

That is the correct Snap.
The expression toggle should only be selected if you are using the expression language to build your path.
For a straight-forward SMB path, you would just enter it into the field.

If you’ve tried that and it still doesn’t work, then our Support team may need to take a look.

That does not work either.
