Re: File reading across network (windows)

Suppose I have a Vista machine called VISTA and an XP machine called
XP in a workgroup named WORKGROUP. Physically they're connected to a
router and I can see lists of public and shared files on each of them.
How do I address these for IO?

A search suggested that the form open(r"\\server\folder\folder"), but
I tried many combinations guessing what it wants for that path in my
case (r"\\WORKGROUP\VISTA", "\\VISTA\PUBLIC", etc), and none have
worked so far.

This is mostly a network administrative problem...
Both machines are in the SAME workgroup, ok?
Suppose one of them (e.g. VISTA) have a shared folder named FOLDER. From
the other PC, open Windows Explorer, and type \\VISTA\FOLDER - you should
see the folder contents. If not, you have to make it work before
attempting to use Python.
Once you can open the shared folder from within Windows Explorer, using
the same path (that is, open(r"\\VISTA\FOLDER")) should work in Python.
