Hello everybody,

we have a problem with the Directory and File Pathnames Reader.

There is an UNC-path: \\\\\server]\\X$\\\directory]\\\directory]\\\directory]. 

The user has access to the (last) directory and also rights to write. This has been checked.

If we use this UNC-path with the Directory and File Pathnames Reader zero features will be read. There is no error, just zero features.

It works (with same settings except the path) when the path/directory is connected as network drive. But this is undesired.

Has anybody an idea how this with the blank UNC-path works?

We are using the FME Desktop (and FME Server) version 2020.2.0.0 

Thank you very much in advance!

EDIT:

it works with a blank path filter and when subfolders are excluded:

But we also need the informations which are in subfolders.

When it's set to "yes" we run in the same problem (as described above) again.

Is it possible that FME needs here special or deeper permissions for the folders/folder-hierarchy?

Still thank you! 🙂
