I have a gateway scheduled script with the following script: ```auto def onScheduledEvent(): tbl = system.db.runNamedQuery('Project_Name', 'select_LastWeek_Data') csv = system.dataset.toCSV(tbl) startDater = system.date.addDays(system.date.now(), -7) startDate = system.date.format(startDater, 'YYYYMMddHHmmss') endDate = system.date.format(system.date.now(), 'YYYYMMddHHmmss') filePath = "\\enterprise.domainName.net\shares\someFolder\someOtherFolder\Reports\TestFile2.csv" system.file.writeFile(filePath, csv) ``` And I can see the SUCCESS message in the gateway scripts. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/0/40a53a689d4d0bcd361f599793d0321ffe51ae77.png) However, my file never appears in the given file path. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong? ---

> [@bmeyers](#): > > `filePath = "\\enterprise.domainName.net\shares\someFolder\someOtherFolder\Reports\TestFile2.csv"` Not sure if this is the issue, but I'd expect this path is missing all the backslashes it needs: ```auto filePath = "\\\\enterprise.domainName.net\\shares\\someFolder\\someOtherFolder\\Reports\\TestFile2.csv" ``` ---

Error message this time: ```auto Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 15, in onScheduledEvent IOError: [Errno 2] File not found - \\enterprise.domainName.net\shares\BEL\someFolder\someOtherFolder\Reports\TestFile2.csv (Access is denied) 8.1.32 (b2023091211) Azul Systems, Inc. 11.0.18 ``` ---

Well now you have a real problem to track down. Maybe you need to map the network drive? [Mapping a Network Drive - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Mapping+a+Network+Drive) ---

We did do that... we added the following to the bottom of the config file and stopped / started the gateway. ```auto wrapper.share.1.location=\\serverName.global.domainName.net\public wrapper.share.1.target=W: wrapper.share.1.type=DISK wrapper.share.1.account=ts\myUserName wrapper.share.1.password= ******** ``` I then update my gateway script to the following: ```auto filePath = "W://Reports//TestFile2.csv" system.file.writeFile(filePath, csv) ``` I can navigate to the path [\serverName.global.domainName.net\public\Reports] so I know it exists. I get this error when running the updated gateway script: ```auto Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 16, in onScheduledEvent IOError: [Errno 2] File not found - W:\Reports\TestFile2.csv (Access is denied) 8.1.32 (b2023091211) Azul Systems, Inc. 11.0.18 ``` My assumption is I setup the config file wrong but I don't know how to prove it. Any thoughts? The lines of code I added are on the bottom of the config file. ---

It looks right, it just seems like a permissions problem at this point... maybe somebody else or support has dealt with a similar situation.
