Replace path of the working directory to UNC path
To replace a local path with a UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path in a working directory, you can use the subst
command in Windows. The subst
command allows you to associate a drive letter with a specific path, including a UNC path.
Here's an example of how you can replace a local path with a UNC path using the subst
command:
Open a command prompt by pressing
Win + R
, typingcmd
, and pressing Enter.Type the following command to associate a drive letter with the local path:
mathematicasubst X: C:\Path\To\Local\Folder
Replace
X:
with the desired drive letter, andC:\Path\To\Local\Folder
with the actual local path.Next, map the drive letter to the UNC path:
arduinosubst X: \\Server\Share\Folder
Replace
X:
with the same drive letter used in the previous command, and\\Server\Share\Folder
with the desired UNC path.
By using the subst
command, you create a virtual drive that points to the UNC path, effectively replacing the local path with the UNC path. This allows you to work with the UNC path as if it were a local path in your working directory.
Keep in mind that the subst
command creates a temporary mapping that is specific to the current session. If you want to persist the mapping across system restarts, you can add the subst
command to a startup script or use other mechanisms such as Group Policy or registry settings.
