Remarks
Universal Naming Convention: a standard for identifying servers, printers and other resources in a network, which originated in the Unix community. A UNC path uses double slashes or backslashes to precede the name of the computer. The path (disk and directories) within the computer are separated with a single slash or backslash, as in the following examples. Note that in the Windows example, drive letters (c:, d:, etc.) are not used in UNC names.
//servername Unix server
\\servername Windows server
