Hi,

Have a java application in a Windows NT environment and want ot use the File
object as such;

File inputFile = new File("\\server\share\filename.txt");

This does not work but works if I use a mapped drive letter?  Any ideas?

Maybe you need to escape those slashes;
File inputFile = new File("\\\\server\\share\\filename.txt");

But otherwise, no idea.

Yeah did that but no good.

Thanks anyway, I think it might ne a Windows NT permission thing (even
though I have set the share permissions correctly) but can copy the file by
UNC path in a command prompt.

Thanks anyway
