Browsing Unc Path from sharepoint application

I have a link which will open an unc path in a separate window. I have used simple window.location to open that. But it is not working on NON-IE browser..
Can anyone help me on that?
Thanks in Advance..

>> Any of the above works fine for IE. But it does not work in Mozilla/Google
Chrome..
This means that it is not a SharePoint related question, but one of cross-browser compatibility. See here for a similar question where a comment classifies the perceived "correct" behaviour as a security hole: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19030432/how-do-you-open-a-file-folder-through-a-link-on-website-in-firefox-and-chrome

Sharepoint 2013 Does not open files using UNC path from Server

Hi All,
Just setup our new 2013 sharepoint intranet site , I tried adding a hyperlink to a document stored on our server using a UNC path file://servername/share/filename.doc but when i click on it it takes me to a blank Webpage in a new tab.
I have turned on "open client applications" in the site collection features hoping that would help ....buuuuuut it did not.
Also tried variations in the UNC path eg: \\servername\share\filename.doc etc..
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Open start run > type > file://servername/share/filename.doc Does this works

Actually the problem I described is an Internet Explorer issue and I will try to get resolution in the appropriate forum. IE exhibits the described behavior whether the link is in a Sharepoint site page, or in a regular non-Sharepoint web page.
Mozilla does not have the issue.

Open a file in UNC path from jsp page

Hi,
it might be simple but I don't know how i can achieve this,
I have a UNC path to a remote computer something like this,
\\ComputerName\SharedFolder\ResourceFileName
i can open this file from windows by typing the above in Windowes explorer or something like this in browser file://ComputerName/SharedFolder/myfile.txt
I want a simple jsp page that will have a hyperlink or a button which when clicked should prompt me with a dialog to open/save/cancel the file. it should not open the text fine inside the browser itself. when i click open it should open the file in appropriate viewer(i think this is judged by the mimetypes set on my machine).
Thanks in Advance.

You may find this FileServlet example useful: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/07/fileservlet.html].
That said, the file needs to be located on the server machine, not on the client machine. If you want to open files from the client machine, rather write a client side application which you can integrate in your webpage, e.g. a signed applet or web start application (jnlp).

Obtain UNC path from get_file_name?

Is there a way of obtaining a UNC pathname from a file returned from get_file_name? For example, if \\dummy is mapped to x: is there a way we can determine \\dummy from x: returned from get_file_name?
We need this as we need to work with fully qualified path names under Forms 9i.
Thanks
Richard

File f = new File("F:\\121526\\Project\\Images\\juventus.jpg");
String name = f.getname();or
String s = "F:\\121526\\Project\\Images\\juventus.jpg";
String name = s.substring(s.lastIndexOf('\\'));or to be portable
String s = "F:\\121526\\Project\\Images\\juventus.jpg";
String name = s.substring(s.lastIndexOf(File.separatorChar));

Unable to browse UNC paths since restarting windows 2008 R2 server

Hi
Since rebooting the server we can no longer browse any UNC paths via the RUN field, whether windows e,g.
\\Localhost\c$
or
\\192.168.0.10\shared
or
\\server-srv02\backups
We can however map the drives using the command line e.g. net use * \\192.168.0.10\shared
Drive X: is now connected to \\192.168.0.10\shared.
The command completed successfully.
We cannot map the root of a share
d:\Users\administrator.UNSWORTH>net use * \\192.168.0.10
System error 53 has occurred.
The network path was not found.
Please can someone help as i believe a system update has caused this problem , and i have spent 1 day trying to resolve changing various registry / group policy settings. i have rebooted the server several times.
We are running Windows 2008 R2 SP1 in terminal server mode.
Please help

Unable to write to a UNC path from a SAP program

Hi All
We have just migrated our first server in an OS/DB migration from UNIX to Windows and the developers are trying to convert all our jobs/programs in SAP to write to Windows UNC paths instead of unix directories but we cannot get it to write files to the UNC paths.
OS = Win 2008 SR2
DB = Oracle 11.2
SAP = ERP 6 / ECC 6
Example path =
hostname.domainname\directory$
Can anybody help us please.
Thanks
Steve

Thanks Tony & Manuel
We believe that we have checked and rechecked all the necessary permissions on the share itself and we know we can resolve the FQDN from the SAP server. The server team here were able to monitor which user SAP was using to try and access these shares and it turns out to be the service account SAPService<SID>. Which surprised me a bit as I thought it would be <sid>adm. Next we tried logging into the SAP server as SAPService<SID> and mapping the UNC path and we were able to write to it so the inference is that the permissions are OK.
I was wondering if there's something within SAP itself that we need to turn on to make it understand UNC paths. We ran function module EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING in SE37 and were able to read from the UNC path. But as yet we can't get any of our SAP programs to write to them.
Thanks

Use UNC path from Active Directory to derive network home location

Good Morning
I am trying to get my Macbooks to conenct to a Windows Server 2003 home directory. I have followed the steps in the following article with no luck:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=serveradmin/10.4/en/c7od49.html
I can bind to the Microsoft Active Directory with no problems and I can connect to the file share on the server that I want to make the network home location, but I can't get it to work automatically as I would expect it to.
We will have hundreds of users connecting that will need their home folders redirected to the network folder location.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I forgot to mention that before upgrading to 10.8.4 the login item below was present:
Item: SMB://network path
Kind: Unknown
After the upgrade:
Item: Unknown
Kind: Unknown
After restart it disappears and never returns (again, this only occurs for admins)

Open 2nd PDF from UNC-path fails

Hallo,
I use Adobe Reader 11.0.08 on Windows7 SP1 (Enterprise) and I try to open PDF-files from UNC-path. The first attempt is successful. If Adobe Reader is still opened, the attempt to open a 2nd PDF-file from (same or other) UNC-path in Windows Explorer does not work without any error message. The file does not open.
The following attempts were successful or not:
(drive P:\ = \\domain\dfs$)
Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file1.pdf opens the file.
Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file2.pdf does not open the file - no error message.
Double-click on P:\path\file2.pdf opens the file.
In Adobe Reader File - Open - \\domain\dfs$\path\file2.pdf opens the file too.
Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file2.pdf opens the file.
Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file1.pdf does not open the file - no error message.
Double-click on P:\path\file1.pdf opens the file.
In Adobe Reader File - Open - \\domain\dfs$\path\file1.pdf opens the file too.
Double-click on P:\path\file1.pdf opens the file.
Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file2.pdf does not open the file - no error message.
Double-click on P:\path\file2.pdf opens the file.
Double-click on P:\path\file2.pdf opens the file.
Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file1.pdf does not open the file - no error message.
Double-click on P:\path\file1.pdf opens the file.
If Adobe Reader is still opened, but no file is opened:
Double-click on \\domain\dfs$\path\file1.pdf does not open the file - no error message.
Double-click on P:\path\file1.pdf opens the file.
As you can see: If Adobe Reader is still opened, I can't open a PDF-file from UNC-path from Explorer. But that's what we need. Our Frontend-application opens an Explorer window and the user has to choose the PDF-files to open via double-click. It would be a very roundabout way to copy the Location from Explorer to open the file in Adobe Reader. We'd like to open the first and all other files for the same session from Explorer via double-click.
Sure, if I disable protected mode every attempt works fine but unfortunatelly it is no permitted option to disable protected mode (security policy) - it has to be enabled.
Each change in "ProtectedModeWhitelistConfig.txt" was not successful. For information its current config that works as mentioned above:
; Files Section
FILES_ALLOW_ANY = \??\UNC\domain\dfs$\*
(no entries in other sections)
How can I open every PDF-file for a session from UNC-path via double-click from Explorer if Adobe Reader is still opened ?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Lisa

Hi Lisa,
Can you please update your Reader to latest version "Adobe Reader 11.0.9" and verify that the issue still occurs.
Thanks,

Windows 2008 R2 server unable to browse UNC shares

Hi All..
I appreciate if anyone could assist with pointing me in the right direction. I have a 2008 R2 server which operates as our SCCM server. For some reason, in the last few days has lost the ability to browse UNC shares from itself, to any other host on the
network or it's own local shares.
DNS resolution and WINS both are working correctly. The affected server can ping any other host on our network, via IP and host alias or FQDN.
For purposes of trying to rule the problem out, I have tried combinations of disabling all WINS and NetBIOS settings on the server, simply in an attempt to see if the issue was DNS, WINS or NetBIOS related. In all cases, attempting to browse another host
using the UNC share , i.e. <\\hostname\sharename> or <\\host-ip\sharename>
Doing a net view \\localhost or net view \\remote-server returns the correct list of shares. When trying to map a drive via net use x: \\remote-server\share I get;
System error 67 has occurred.
The network name cannot be found.
And when browsing via Windows explorer I get the message
Error Code: 0x90070043
The network name cannot be found
The same results happen for netbios name, FQDN and IP address.
From the other side, every other host that I've tested can access shares on the the affected server. (I've tested XPSP3, WIN7 64-bit, WIN2003 32-bit, WIN2008 & WIN2008R2 hosts)
I have also tried a "nbtstat -a <remote-hostname>" and "nbtstat -a <remote-host-ip>" and the information returned corresponds with the WINS server details.
I have also tried an "nbtstat -S 2" whlist attempting to open a UNC share, but no corresponding entries appear while attempting to UNC browse.
I should point out that the error notification (of the failure to connect) is instantaneous as if the server isn't even attempting to try going remotely. (i.e. no timeout) Which leads me to thinking there's a configuration setting somewhere that's causing
this problem??
There are no 3rd party firewalls installed, the windows firewall service is started by default but all the profiles for the firewall are turned off. We have tried setting firewall to on and allow all traffic, but the problem remains. All ports are open inbound
and outbound as I can telnet to ports 139 and 445 of other servers from this server. I have also tried enabling all netbios rules that were disabled on the windows firewall (in order to rule out any potential conflict).
The server was running Sophos 9.7 AV, I have tested completely removing the AV software from the server in order to rule out any potential conflict. This did not resolve the issue.
I have also verified that it's not down to a disabled computer domain account.
The servers are only operating IPv4, and obviously have File and Print services enabled, and client for Microsoft Networks.
The AD domain was upgraded, many weeks prior, from an AD2003 domain to an AD2008, and the server was operating as expected until I discovered that the UNC shares were no longer working on this affected host.
While it is not affecting config manager clients connecting to the server, is has an impact if a SCCM task sequence needs to retrieve data from a UNC share.
As mentioned the server is a 2008 R2 box, it's a virtual machine operating on ESXi 4.1U1. The OS is fully patched and and VMware tools are up to date. The server is a member server of our AD domain. We have many other similarly configured 2008 R2 servers
operating on the same ESXi host; in fact we have 2008R2 hosts acting as SCOM, SCOM RMS and SQL2008 R2 servers. All these servers are operating on the same IP subnet. All of these servers are operating with the same network configuration (with the exception
of different static IP addresses).
We have tried removing and reinstalling the VMware tools, and removing and reinstalling the Intel NIC, this hasn't made any difference either. I have also tried changing from the Intel NIC to a VMware VMXnet NIC. This has not made a difference.
Any suggestions would be really be greatly appreciated as I've not been able to solve this to date..I will gladly supply any additional info if it can help anyone in the future, should they come across this problem.

Hi,
Just giving this thread a bit of a bump on this thread as I'm still trying to figure this one out..
I did resort to restoring from backup, to get my server working, but I'm encountering the issue on another 2008 R2 box, which is not good. So any suggestions you can think of would be appreciated. I think that this issue is more of a network protocol related
nature, rather than application issue.. I'd appreciate if anyone could suggest how to proceed further on this one..
Below are two snippets of wireshark captures, one is between the affected 2008 R2 host & a windows 2003 server, and the second one is between a working 2008 R2 host and the same 2003 server (used in the first example). In the test examples, I am simply
doing a start -> run; then typing \\2003servername\ and pressing enter. Below is the network traffic between the two hosts, after I hit return;

I can reproduce the same network traffic against 2008 R2 host, only the SMB traffic will show as SMBV2
TEST#2 - To compare this, I ran the same test (above) using a working 2008 R2 host, against the same 2003 remote server. You will see that it is considerably more network traffic, than the above

Again, I can repeat the same test against a 2008 R2 server, and I will get the same output, except the SMB traffic will be SMBV2
It appears to me that the issue is protocol related, as you can see in test#1 between the second-last and the last line of network traffic, it jumps from "STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME" to a TCP/IP [ACK] response. Yet in
test#2 you can see that after line 336 (shown below), you can see it calls "wkssvc", which I'm assuming is the workstation service.. which we don't see at the first (failed) test..

If there's anyone out there that can assit, it really would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance..

Store unc path in database

Hi I have an application that needs to store links to files on various servers so I would like to store the unc path in the database - is it possible to get the unc path from the file browse item ?
I can load the files to the database but these files might change
Any thoughts

Convert it to a string with Path To String conversion function?

Could not find (UNC path) Error

I have a few machines (not all machines) with a single interface that get an error on a bundle, "Unexpected error installing file. Error: Could not find the directory \\172.16.8.34\installs$\ENH-Source", however, from that machine I can manually access that UNC path from a Run line and see the contents just fine. So, what gives?

Debug log on one offending machine simply says:
Code:
[DEBUG] [11/30/2014 23:35:08.893] [1344] [ZenworksWindowsService] [25] [] [Copy Directory] [] [Source directory \\172.16.8.34\installs$\ENH-Source does not exist.] [] []
[DEBUG] [11/30/2014 23:35:08.905] [1344] [ZenworksWindowsService] [25] [FLastname] [ActionManager] [] [Action handler Copy Directory Action finished processing Copy ENH Source with error: GenericActions.UnexpectedError.] [] []
But it does exist, and the user can UNC to the path. Again, if the problem was system unable to access the path, I would expect many more (all) my other workstations generating the same error. I do see that the workstation has 2 IP addresses, a 172.16 address which would have access and a 192.168 address that wouldn't be able to. I also see:
Code:
The agent service is running, but the request failed for one or more known addresses.
It's feasible that it's trying to access the path from 192.168 interface and failing, but shouldn't it try/know to use the 172.16 interface?

Can't add own application to RemoteApps - "You must specify a file from the RD Session Host server SERVERNAME by using the UNC path....

Hi, there
I'm not really pro- at RDS in server 2012 (r1), but I have a problem and don't find anything suitable on internet:
I'm trying to publish one of my own, unlisted programs to rdweb, but it keeps saying "You must specify a file from the RD Session Host server SERVERNAME by using the UNC path...."
1) I provided the path in the unc name - when I click "Add.." then i browse the the .exe file via network share, not via local path. So that should be OK
2) Firewall is turned off and eventhough the exeptions are enabled, both of then, checked
What else should I do to make this work?

Okej, I found the sollution:
You have to specify the path like \\hostname\drive_letter$\path-to-the-program.
I was doing wrong because i wrote it like \\hostname\ShareName\path-to-the-program.
I was misleded because the wizard wants me to find the program by clicking, and not by entring the path manualy.

Full path and filename in wwv_flow_files after upload from UNC path in IE

I have a page with a file browse item. After page submit I move the file from wwv_flow_files to another table.
Normally the column wwv_flow_files.filename only contains the filename. However, when using IE9 and selecting a file from an UNC path the column contains the full path+filename.
Does anybody have an idea what happens here?
How can I make sure I only get the filename?

How can I make sure I only get the filename?For security/privacy reasons recent versions of browsers by default do not send local file path information from File Browse items to the server, nor expose the file path in the control's JavaScript methods. Firefox, Safari and Chrome only provide the filename. IE6 & IE7 still yield the path in Windows format. IE8+ and Opera have adopted an irritating approach of replacing the path with a wholly imaginary "C:\fakepath\"—and this monstrosity has sadly had to be enshrined in the HTML spec. A reasonably compatible way to strip the path in JS is provided there, or you should be able to do it fairly easily in PL/SQL when moving the file.
The fact you are getting the full path suggests that the IE security config setting "Include local directory path when uploading files" (or IE9 equivalent) is used in your browser/environment to enable the path to be exposed in IE. This may be necessary to support dismal legacy applications. Consult whoever is responsible for browser security configuration at your site to see why/if this setting is necessary.

SharePoint 2013 Media Player using UNC path directly without using a Website in IIS (either out of the box or custom player using javascript only)

Hi,
There isn't much info on this and I am hoping its possible.
I have come across the following article which explains how we can setup SharePoint 2013 Asset Library using video links using a website in IIS that is mapped to a UNC path.
http://stevemannspath.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/sharepoint-2013-videos-in-sharepoint.html
This is great. However we have an issue where I work and I need somehow to get SharePoint mediaplayer to point to a video directly using the UNC path like :- \\WINSP13\TempVideos\NTV_Carr_Indig.wmv without the use of a website in IIS.
I understand that we won't be able to stream the video then thats ok.
when trying to add a video link to an asset library using the UNC path, we get the following error: We don't support
playing a video of that format from a file share.
Is there a way or a workaround to do this? we are using only javascript to do this (AngularJS or any custom Javascript player such as MediaElement)
Thanks
Kind Regards,
Will

From a SharePoint architecture perspective, this is a BAD design, since you are rerouting the communications (from the client to the UNC) away from and outside of SharePoint... as a result, SP cannot provide any level of guarantee about the ability for videos
to play on the client machine.
Secondarily, I'm not sure that the browser will let you pull resources from such different locations (doing so has been the root of several type of attacks, such as "Cross Site Scripting").
That said (and assuming the browser lets you), you can always use JS to handle creating the video player HTML and setting the UNC location... instead of using a site asset library to store the links, just create a list for the videos
