I'm using C# Windows Service project.
And I'm using Microsoft Synchronization service to sync my file to server.
I want sync file to server (to network path e.g. '\\192.168.1.2\File\').
But I found a error that 'Could not find a part of the path '\\192.168.1.2\File\''.
How can I fix that error.

Solution 1

Based on the fact that you're using a service I would guess that the service is run under different account than what you use for desktop session.

For example if you use purely local account for the service, it does not have privileges to access network resources.

So as a resolution, try running the service under a different account.

Thanks for your solution.
But I can't call the network path until changing my service to Network Service. (from Local Service)

The network service may not have access to the specified network share. Instead of using built-in accounts try specifying a domain account which has privileges to connect to the share and also privileges to be run as a service.

From MSDN: "NetworkService account has minimum privileges on the local computer and acts as the computer on the network.". See NetworkService Account[^]
