Add Network Mappings
Learn how to add network mappings for file servers
We recommend using mapped network drives when migrating from a Windows file server as they are more robust than direct UNC mappings, but Movebot supports both methods.
UNC shares can only be configured manually and require a bit of syntactical magic. When adding a mapping from the project, click Configure folder paths manually then specify the UNC path to the remote server using the format shown in the example below.
For clarity, see the breakdown below:
/SERVER2/SharedFolder
/SERVER2 | This is the hostname of the target file-sharing server you are connecting to.
If the original UNC path was \\SERVER2\SharedFolder, this is where SERVER2 came from. |
/SharedFolder | The file share on the server |
