I am using PDI 8.1 CE in Windows environment. I am trying to access some network folders using UNC but getting below error:
File is there but PDI is not able to see it. One thing that I have observed is that where we get error java.io.FileNotFoundException instead of accessing the location with \\ at the beginning we have only one slash file:\servername not sure why PDI is doing that.
Searching through the web I have found that, this seems to be an issue in earlier versions of PDI but should have been fixed with PDI 5.0 stable version. Anyone else having this issue and knows how to get around it?
