The user security information that the process or thread is running under must have read and write permissions on the resource.

You need the fully qualified path to the file, whether through a mapped drive letter or the UNC.

Using C string syntax...
1. "F:\\SomePath\\MyFile.txt"
2. "\\\\OtherServer\\SomePath\\MyFile.txt"
