Can't access a mounted network share drive with python cgi scripting, works fine with local drives

1.6k Views Asked by At

I wrote a script with CGI and python, which accepts a folder path and then does some processing on the files inside.. The problem is this fails if the path is a network share mapped drive.. I read in many of the related queries that windows service doesnt allow this.

But they say if I use the UNC path then it should work, but it doesn't. because it has user authentication to undergo..

I found here something related but definitely it is not the solution I understand: How to copy files to network path or drive using Python

Can anyone help me somehow with this?? in the end the users of my script would be non-IT people so they would never understand the difference of the local drives and network drives, so this is kind of a requirement !
