Summary

Universal Naming Convention (UNC) notation is a way of identifying network resources. UNC names have three sections: a server name, a share name, and a file path. The three sections are divided using backslashes. The basic format is as follows:

\\server name\share name\file_path

For example, the UNC name of your Import Agent folder may be:

\\MyPC\C$\Program Files\Laserfiche\Laserfiche Import Agent

"MyPC" is the name of the computer Import Agent is installed on. "C$" is the shared folder on that computer, which happens to be the C drive. "Program Files\Laserfiche\Laserfiche Import Agent" is the path to the Import Agent directory.
