Network path not found error for local machine
I am testing an application on my local machine to generate a file. The network path I set up for testing \\127.0.0.1\NEWFILE\test1.txt
. I am getting a "network path not found" error. What could be the problem?
filePath = @"\\127.0.0.1\NEWFILE\test1.txt";
File.WriteAllText(filePath, Contents.ToString());
Try
filePath = @"\\127.0.0.1\NEWFILE\test1.txt";
File.WriteAllText(filePath, Contents.ToString());
Notice the extra backslash.
EDIT 1
Is NEWFILE a fraction on your computer that your program has write access to?
EDIT 2
Confirm NEWFILE is a share on your computer. Open Windows Explorer and in the address bar \\ 127.0.0.1 \
After entering the last backslash, a list of available beats should appear. If NEWFILE is not one of them, then your problem.
You may need to add another forward slash. Server name UNC paths start with two abbreviations:
@"\\127.0.0.1\NEWFILE\..."
Make sure the NEWFILE share is configured correctly:
This should work, but there will be a "test1.txt" file in the NEWFILE share, not the newfile folder on C: \.
filePath = @"\\127.0.0.1\NEWFILE\test1.txt";
Check if Server Services is enabled , which supports file sharing, printing, and pipe sharing name over the network. You can find this service under Administration / Services. I had a similar problem. When adding user accounts to the local computer.
