Manage Files on mapped Drives

[Markus Hergeth]

Hi, 
I have a network drive mapped to the PAM Server. When I now want to read a file from this mapped drive I get the error "The system cannot find the drive. failed to switch to to directory L:\tmp"
I know that it doesn't work, when the PAM service is running under the lokal system account, so I switched it to a domain user with lokal admin rights, but still the same error.

Can anyone tell me how I have to configure PAM and the File-Operator to be able to manage files on mapped network drives.

Thanks and best regards,
Markus

Hi Markus,

did you test it with L:\\tmp?

Hi Markus,

do you have the possibility to use a UNC path?

For Example:  \\\\\\\\<servername>\\\\CatalogFileStore\\\\tmp

Hi,

yes, then I get the Error:
“CMD unterstützt keine UNC-Pfade als aktuelles Verzeichnis“
Translated: CMD doesn’t support UNC Path for current Folders

LG,
Markus

Hi Markus,

Perhaps you could share a screen capture of the operator Input Parameters.

I would specify the Working Directory on a local drive and the Source File Name as a UNC path. You should also include credentials in the User ID and Password.

Cheers, Lindsay

Hi Lindsay,

you are right. Wenn I use the UNC path within the filename, it works!

Thanks and best regards,
