CSV reader not able to read from network drive

The workspace works in workbench. I am just reading a csv file from a network drive and doing some transformation and outputting another csv file back into the network drive.

However when I publish it into fme server and run from there, I received an error

"CSV Reader: Failed to read the specified file(s) in the folder '\\\\xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.csv'"

Anyone has any idea?

Inside workbench, the destination csv contains the hardcoded network directory.

Thanks

Does FME Server have access to that folder? (to be specific: the user account under which FME Server needs to have access to that folder).

You will most probably have to configure the FME Server engine service to run as a domain user, see:

The default local system account has no access to network resources.
