Remarks

A universal form of a path identifies a network resource in an unambiguous, computer-independent manner. The path can then be passed to processes on other computers, allowing those processes to obtain access to the network resource.

Universal Naming Convention (UNC) names look like this:

\\servername\sharename\path\file
