Description
I have a PC on the network and i want to access some files on that PC.
Windows explorer:
if i type in "\\192.168.2.62" i will get
if i do the same thing in fman, nothing happens. Fman is behaving like when i type in a wrong folder.
But if i type in "\\192.168.2.62\Backup" i will get access:
If i press Backslash key i will get where i want, but i was not be able to access it directly.
what i did as a workaround, i created an additional folder called "root" and i always access "\\192.168.2.62\root" first and then press backslash to get to the real root, so i can navigate to the folder i want.
