Accessing a shared folder over a network in adobe air

Question

I'm trying to write to a shared folder on a windows network in AIR using the File class. I don't understand how to format the path to the shared folder. I get one of who errors with everything I've tried: "The specified folder does not exist" and "there is a parameter missing". The UNC path to access this folder from my computer is like this:

\\localdev01\platefiles

Here are the different path formats I've tried to access this folder:

\\localdev01\platefiles

/localdev01/platefiles

file://localdev01/platefiles (i get error #2 with this one)

file:///localdev01/platefiles

Does anyone have any guidance or suggestions?

Are you sure about \localdev01\platefiles ? There's normally two \s on a network path, ie, \\localdev01\platefiles — developmentalinsanity, Nov 15 '10 at 08:20
oh, I'm sorry, yeah, the UNC path is \\localdev01\platefiles — Tyler, Nov 15 '10 at 16:57
