File Path

[david]

I was trying to use the ftp_put command. It worked for the files in the
same directory as my php file, but if I try to fetch a file somewhere else
on the server with the following syntax for the source file it doesn't work.

"\\server\direc tory_path\filen ame"

also it didn't work with

"//server/directory_path/filename"

What is the correct way to access the file?

Thanks in advance!

David
