      Article summary

      The standard default maximum length for a UNC path in the File Output Port is 260 characters for Windows API.

      A local path is structured as follows:

      C:\Lasernet\Output\

      or

      \\<Local machine>\<Local path>\

      Local Computers

      For local computers, an extended-length path can be supported for a maximum total path length of 32.767 characters. To specify an extended-length path, you can use a prefix:

      \\?\C:\<Very long local path>\

      or

      \\?\<Very long local path>\

      Shared Network Drives

      To support extended-length paths for shared network drives, ensure you are using Lasernet 6.7.6, Lasernet 7.1 or above and type: '\\?\UNC\<Server>\<Path>\'.
