accessing over network path

Question

I try to create a file in a server using the following code

String path = @"\\192.1.1.55\\d$:\\Scripts\\list.txt";
using (File.Create(path));
richTextBox1.SaveFile(path, RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText);

It gives System.NotSupportedException The given path's format is not supported.

I also tried

String path = "\\\\192.1.1.55\\d$:\\Scripts\\list.txt";
using (File.Create(path));
richTextBox1.SaveFile(path, RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText);

I need to create files and access them over the network with the ip of the server that has files,

Answer 1

Share some folder on server, for example Scripts and use this path:

String path = @"\\192.1.1.55\Scripts\list.txt";

Answer 2

Remove the : after the D$ and it should work.

I now realized that you also have an @ at the beginning of the path string, therefore, change the path to this:

String path = @"\\192.1.1.55\d$\Scripts\list.txt";

A better approach would be to map the network path to a drive and to use that while saving.

For instance, map network drive R (for richtextbox) to \\192.1.1.55\d$, then change your path variable to G:\Scripts\list.txt
