UNC paths

UNC stands for Universal (or Uniform or Unified) Naming Convention and is a syntax for accessing folders and files on a network of computers. The syntax is as shown:

\\<computer name>\<shared directory>\

followed by any number of directories and terminated with a directory or file name.

The computer name is always preceded by a double backward slash (\\).

In UNC, the computer name is also known as the host name.
