Treat it the same way you would for a 'local' folder, > eg "C:\my_folder". And if you've done that and it isn't working, one likely cause is that Windows uses backslashes in path names, but Python string literals treat backslashes specially. Use a raw string literal: path = r"\\DOCUMENTALE\my_folder\some_file_name" with open(path, "wb") as f: ... write to file ... If you have other problems, the best thing to do is to post your code and the exact output it produces, especially if that's a traceback. Those are incredibly helpful. ChrisA
