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

[doug_fossler]

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.

[dmiller]

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.
