How to use unc-path with the command line interface?

Hello,
first I have to mention that you made a good job!!!

I am going to use FlashMagic with the command line interface and the firmware-file stored on a netdrive.
With the application there is no problem using unc-pathes like //server/drive/file. When I try it with the command line interface I'm always getting an error.
I saved my working settings (with an firmware-unc-path) from the application with the function File/Save Command Line Directives and tried this out with the command line - still not works.
Is there anything to consider which is not mentioned in your (very good) manual?

Cheers

I've never tried it and I probably need to fix a bug. In the meantime you can map the network share to a drive letter.

Ouch - 11 months? I will be adding a significant new feature in the next three weeks, so hopefully I can get this done at the same time.

I just tried it and it works fine for me with the current version of Flash Magic. Here is the set of directives that I tested with:

COM(1, 9600)
DEVICE(LPC2129, 12.000)
HARDWARE(BOOTEXEC, 50, 100)
HEXFILE(\\10.90.31.51\files\Pat64k.hex, NOCHECKSUMS, NOFILL, PROTECTISP)

Hello,
we have for some reasons a $-sign in our netfolder-names. This works fine in Flashmagic but not in the commandline program.

The argument file looks like this:
COM(4, 38400)
DEVICE(LPC2129, 12.000000)
HARDWARE(BOOTEXEC, 50, 100)
ERASE(DEVICE, PROTECTISP)
HEXFILE(\\NTHT01\HT$Research\Software\Firmware\fw013.hex, NOCHECKSUMS, NOFILL, PROTECTISP)


Can you check this please.

Cheers Andy

Oh, well, yes, '$' are not allowed in path names in the command line version. If you had given me an example at the start I would have told you this right away and been able to add support for it a long time ago...

Hello,
thanks for the quick reply...
We are using the Production System. Can you update this version please (currently it's 3.69)!?

Thanks Andy
