FileBot

My goal is to use Filebot to move files to another folder on the (same) server but another share.
Files are stored on share \\ds_rene\downloads\media and should be moved to \\DS_Rene\video\TV Series\
The renaming of the files and putting it in the right sub folder works well, but the folder is created under the original share \\ds_rene\downloads\media, so in folder \\ds_rene\downloads\media\DS_Rene\video\TV Series\NCIS Origins\Season 01


The preset I have created contains the following expression, next to the other settings as mentioned underneath: //DS_Rene/video/TV Series/{ n }/Season { s.Pad(2) }/{ n } - { s00e00 } - { t }


As requested in the guidelines, also my system information.


I hope you can point me in the right way.

That sounds like a bad idea. Why not mount the common parent folder if the files are on the same NAS anyway? If you use separate shares, then Windows may end up downloading and uploading files just to move a file that the server could move locally with zero effort.


You can always use mapped network shares with drive letters if UNC paths are giving you a hard time.



That said, works for me, I see no particular issue:



I'd start by generating a valid UNC path with the correct case-sensitive host name / share name: Are //server/share and \\server\share interchangeable? Maybe, maybe not. Run tests and let us know.

Are \\DS_Rene and \\ds_rene interchangeable? Maybe, maybe not. Run tests and let us know.
