[mapguide-users] Connecting to remote files using mapagent ?

[Mansoureh Sadrykia]

Hi James Card and thanks for your reply,
   
  I have tried UNC path(\\192.168.0.51\) in my xml too, but the same error remains. Shall I change something in my mg site administrator to be able to access files over a LAN or ....?
   
  Thanks in Advance,

We typically don't use the "%MG_DATA_PATH_ALIAS[san-diego]%" syntax when 
running unmanaged FeatureSources on our MGOS servers; we just put in the 
UNC path "\\192.168.0.51\San Diego" (by the way, I'd avoid paths 
containing SPACE characters -- still bad juju for Windows machines).
