Hi all,
I have to write an application which does a move and copy of a
file from a remote machine to the local machine. I tried something
like:
file = ur"\\\\venuwin2008\\C\\4Folders\\Folder02\\Folder002\
\TextFile_06.txt"
The 'r' prefix on the string makes it a raw string, meaning you don't
have do double-up the backslashes, but you did so anyway, so your path
has many extra backslashes, making it invalid. Dropping the 'r' prefix
should fix the problem.
Also, the file isn't really remote if you can use the normal local
file system calls to read it.
That's a slightly strange position to take.
When *is* it remote, then?
