I wrote the following function, which copies file(s) to computers:
public void CopyFile()
{
//data
_pathcopy = txtb_to.Text;
_computers = txtb_pc.Lines;
_copyfiles = txtb_from.Text;
string fileName = GetFileNameFromLabel(_copyfiles);
string from = Path.Combine(_copyfiles);
foreach (var comp in _computers)
{
string topath = GetUNCPath(_pathcopy, comp, fileName);
Directory.CreateDirectory(GetUNCPath(_pathcopy, comp));
try
{
File.Copy(from, topath);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
MessageBox.Show(e.Message);
}
}
}
private string GetFileNameFromLabel(string path)
{
string fName = Path.GetFileName(path);
return fName;
}
private string GetUNCPath(string path, string pc)
{
string ffp = Path.GetFullPath(Path.Combine(path + @"\"));
string uncpath = @"\\" + pc + @"\" + ffp.Replace(":", "$");
return uncpath;
}
private string GetUNCPath(string path, string pc, string fln)
{
string ffp = Path.GetFullPath(Path.Combine(path + @"\" + fln));
string uncpath = @"\\" + pc + @"\" + ffp.Replace(":", "$");
return uncpath;
}
It works if I run the program on a real computer. But if I run it in a VM, I get the following error:
"The given path's format is not supported."
I compare strings in debugger, but they are equal.
System.NotSupportedException
HResult=0x80131515
Message=The given path's format is not supported.

I repeat, file exist, path correct. I have admin rights.
It was strange bug. I rebooted all VM and bug is gone
Try to remove last "\" from the destination location.
private string GetUNCPath(string path, string pc)
{
string ffp = Path.GetFullPath(Path.Combine(path); // + @"\"));
string uncpath = @"\\" + pc + @"\" + ffp.Replace(":", "$");
return uncpath;
}
If this doesn't work, then you have permission issues. Maybe from VM you have no permission to write on remote folder.
